Sir C. V. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work connected with which of the following phenomena of radiation?

  1. A
    Scattering
  2. B
    Diffraction
  3. C
    Interference
  4. D
    Polarization

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Sir C. V. Raman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for his discovery of the scattering of light (the Raman Effect). This phenomenon shows that when light traverses a transparent medium, a fraction of the deflected light undergoes wavelength and frequency changes due to inelastic energy shifts with the molecules.
