During a 1921 voyage to Europe, Sir C.V. Raman was inspired by the striking blue colour of the Mediterranean Sea, which he believed resulted from the scattering of sunlight by water molecules. This observation sparked a series of experiments upon his return to Calcutta, where he began studying how light diffuses in liquids. Raman soon realised that this field held far deeper scientific importance, leading him to make it the central focus of his research.
His pioneering work on light scattering eventually led to the discovery of the Raman Effect, earning him the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics. He also established the Indian Journal of Physics and played a key role in founding the Indian Academy of Sciences.
