(Trichinopoly, India, 1888-Bangalore, id., 1970) Indian physicist.
He received the B.S. degree in physics from the University of Madras.
From 1917 to 1933 he was a lecturer of physics in University of Calcuta.
In 1928 he discovered the Raman effect which was to make him famous.
This is based on the use of light beams and contributes to the study
of the geometry of molecules. Two years later, he was awarded the
Nobel Prize of Physics. In 1934 he founded the Indian Academy of Science
in Bangalore. In 1948 he was appointed director of the Raman Research
Institute of Bangalore. Other research work was focused on the study
