The energy and thus the frequency and wavelength of the scattered light is changed as the light either imparts rotational or vibrational energy to the scattering molecules or takes energy away.
This Raman spectrum is characteristic of the transmitting substance.

 Raman Spectroscopy
Raman Spectroscopy was invented in 1928 by Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and has been successfully used for many years in the qualitative and quantitative examination of liquids and gases.
Raman radiation arises when a beam of light is shone onto a sample — some of the light is absorbed by the molecules in the sample and re-emitted at different wavelengths, the pattern of the emitted Raman lines being characteristic of the molecules in the sample.
Hitherto it has been necessary to extract dyes and pigments from samples to examine them by Raman Spectroscopy, but new instrumentation employing a pinpoint laser beam and a highly sensitive detector now allows inks to be examined in situ, effectively permitting non-destructive testing of materials on paper.

Raman became professor of physics at the University of Calcutta in 1917.
Studying the scattering of light in various substances, in 1928 he found that when a substance is illuminated by a beam of light of one frequency, the beam emerging at right angles to the original direction contains other frequencies that are characteristic of the material.
These so-called Raman frequencies are equal to the infrared frequencies for the material and are caused by the exchange of energy between the light and the material.

In 1928, Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (1888-1970) discovered that information on the vibrational energies of liquids was found in the light that was inelastically scattered from the samples.
Since that time Raman scattering has developed into a very powerful experimental technique that is also used to provide information on the electronic and magnetic excitations of a sample; as well as microscopic detail on a very diverse range of properties such as structure, impurity concentration, temperature, composition and interface interactions.
In fact, by investigating the polarization dependence of the Raman spectra at low temperatures one may determine both the magnitude and the symmetry of the superconducting gap.
