	Raman effect
		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 spectrometry is a useful technique in physical and chemical research, particularly for the characterization of materials.

		Raman was an Indian Tamilian, born in Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu.
		Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used by Todd in condensed matter physics and chemistry to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.
		He retired from the Indian Institute in 1948 and a year later he established the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore, serving as its director and remained active there until his death on November 21, 1970, at the age of eighty two.

		Raman spectroscopy is an analytical method based on measurements from a given sample (gas, liquid or solid).
		The area of a Raman peak is proportional to the concentration of the molecule given rise to the peak.

	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.

		After receiving the Nobel Prize, Raman is reported to have visited his native village where his aunt asked him: "What is all this commotion about the big prize you have received?" He explained to her, in his characteristic lucid style, his discovery.

		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.
