Dr. Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (C. V. Raman) Life History



Dr. C.V Raman's full name is Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman. He was born on November 7th, 1888, and passed away on November 21st, 1970. He was an accomplished Indian physicist who made his name in the area of light scattering. Together with K. S. Krishnan, a student of his, he discovered that some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength and amplitude when it passes through a transparent medium. The Raman Effect, also known as Raman scattering, was eventually given to this novel phenomena of light scattering. Raman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930. He was the first Asian to win a Nobel Prize in a scientific field.

Raman was a brilliant child for his Hindu Tamil Brahmin parents. He was an intelligent and gifted student from an early age. He graduated from St. Aloysius' Anglo-Indian High School with his secondary education at the age of 11 and his higher secondary education at the age of 13. At the age of 16, he graduated with honours in physics from Presidency College and won first place in the University of Madras' bachelor's degree exams. While working toward his diploma in 1906, he wrote his first academic article on the diffraction of light. He earned an M.A. in Physics the following year, in 1907.

His father’s name was Chandrasekhara Ramanathan Iyer was his father’s name who was a lecturer in Physics and Mathematics in a college in Vishakhapatnam. His mother’s name was Parvathi Ammal. He married Lokasundari Ammal in the year 1907 and had two sons namely Radhakrishnan and Chandrasekhar.

He took the Financial Civil Services (FCS) test and passed it because of his father's desire. He moved to Kolkata in 1907 and began working there as the Assistant Accountant General. In his free time, he visited the Indian Association for Cultivation of Sciences' research facility. Even though his job was extremely busy, he continued his research work at night because science was his primary passion.

Despite the restricted resources in the lab, he persisted in his research and published the results in a number of prestigious international journals, such as "The Philosophical Magazine," "Nature," "Physics Review," etc. He concentrated his studies at the time on the topics of vibrations and acoustics.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
