Q. Which of the following fields were related to Sir C.V Raman’s “Raman Effect” discovered in 1928?
Answer: Optics
Notes: The Raman effect is the inelastic scattering of photons by matter. When a monochromatic light beam propagates in an optical fibre, spontaneous Raman scattering transfers some of the photons to new frequencies. Unlike incident light, this scattered light undergoes a spectral shift by an amount equivalent to the resonance frequency of the lattice oscillation.
