Characterizing Colour - Sir C. V. Raman at Work

The characterization of colour by Sir C V Raman, providing an insight into the identities of the scattering substance, was publicly announced on 28th February 1928. This was an investigation so strong and important - it won him the 1930 Nobel Prize for Physics - in record time of two years after it discovery – the first for any Asian scientist anywhere. Celebrating this discovery on the National Science Day, Birla Industrial & Technological Museum (National Council of Science Museums, Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India) relives
facets that enabled this permanent progress in our knowledge of physical reality - a quest that continues to this day.
