Raman entered Presidency College, Madras, in 1902, and in 1904 passed his B.A. examination, winning the first place and the gold medal in physics; in 1907 he gained his M.A. degree, obtaining the highest distinction.
The main investigations carried out by Raman were: his experimental and theoretical studies on the diffraction of light by acoustic waves of ultrasonic and hypersonic frequencies (published 1934-1942), and those on the effects produced by X-rays on infrared vibrations in crystals exposed to ordinary light.
Raman was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society early in his career (1924), and was knighted in 1929.

He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength.
These so-called Raman frequencies are equal to the infrared frequencies for the scattering material and are caused by the exchange of energy between the light and the material.
Raman was knighted in 1929, and in 1933 he moved to the Indian Institute of Science, at Bangalore, as head of the department of physics.

 What is Raman spectroscopy
The vibrational Raman effect is especially useful in studying the structure of the polyatomic molecule.
Like infrared spectrometry, Raman spectrometry is a method of determining modes of molecular motion, especially the vibrations, and their use in analysis is based on the specificity of these vibrations.
Both the Raman and the infrared spectrum yield a partial description of the internal vibrational motion of the molecule in terms of the normal vibrations of the constituent atoms.

Raman was born in Trichinopoly, India and graduated from the University of Madras at the young age of 16.
Raman began his study on light and its scattering effect in a variety of transparent mediums and in 1928, Raman discovered what is known today as the Raman frequencies.
Raman discovered that when a beam of light having only one frequency illuminated any substance, then the beam would continue and emerge from the substance at a right angle to the original direction of the beam.

Raman spectroscopy enables the study of vibrations in molecules and solids through the interaction of light with the vibrations.
Raman spectroscopy was first invented about 75 years ago, in 1928, by Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman.
One of the concerns at the time (private communication with Dr. Etz) was that micro-Raman spectroscopy might not be the same as traditional Raman spectroscopy, since it was performed through a microscope and on such a small (micron-sized) volume of material.
