Blue Seas, Blue Light, and Raman’s Discovery: How One Journey Changed India’s Scientific Face
India’s legendary scientist, Dr. C.V. Raman, left an indelible mark on the world with his groundbreaking discovery. His research not only reshaped the field of science but also brought India its first Nobel Prize in Physics. On 7th November 2025, we celebrate the birth anniversary of this visionary scientist and revisit his remarkable journey.
A Question from the Blue SeaThe blue waves of the ocean may mesmerize anyone, but young Raman saw a question in them—one that would define his future. Curious why the sea is blue, he embarked on a journey of inquiry that eventually placed India prominently on the global scientific map. Through his experiments, Raman uncovered the mystery of light scattering, a phenomenon now famously known as the Raman Effect.
