Sir C. V. Raman discovered the 'Raman Effect' while studying the scattering of light. When light passes through a transparent liquid, what change is observed in a small fraction of the scattered light?
Its speed becomes zero
Its color (wavelength) changes
Its brightness multiplies by ten
It transforms into sound waves
Solution
The Raman Effect shows that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the deflected light changes in wavelength and color due to energy exchange with molecules.
