February 28: National Science Day


While roaming in the world, many questions come to our minds. While we can find answers to some questions, there are others that confuse us. One such day a question came to the mind of the great scientist chandrasekhar Venkataraman. He got so lost in that question that he researched for seven years and then found the answer that is why National Science Day is celebrated on Feb.28. Yes, this special day is not celebrated on the birthday of a great personality, but as a memory of the discovery of the answer to a question.


What was this question?

The great scientist chandrasekhar Venkataraman was once on a sea voyage. During the journey, he saw that the water has no color, but still, the color of the sea appears to be blue. Now the question arose that why the color of the sea appears blue. After this, he paid attention to every transparent thing, where is the color coming from in it. After doing research for 7 consecutive years, on 28 february 1928, he discovered the Raman Effect.


What is Raman Effect?

To prove the Raman Effect in front of the world, he also made his own spectroscope. The Raman effect is about the flexible distribution of photon particles, he said. According to the Raman effect, when a monochromatic light passes through water and solid things, then some other types of light of low intensity are seen along with incident light.


Advantages of Raman Effect

Due to Raman Effect, we are able to scan things. Understand in simple words that if the Raman Effect is not detected, then that scanner machine would never have been installed at the airport and railway station, so that without touching the luggage, what is kept inside it.
