Q. In which year was C.V. Raman awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the Raman Effect (scattering of light)?
Answer: 1930
Notes: Sir C.V. Raman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for discovering the Raman Effect in 1928. This effect explains inelastic scattering of photons, greatly advancing spectroscopy, and is crucial in diverse scientific fields, including chemistry and biology. The Raman Science Centre in Nagpur honors his legacy.
