On November 7, 1888, Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born in Tiruchirappalli, Southern India. His father was a mathematics and physics instructor, therefore he was raised in an academic environment. In 1922, he published his work on "Molecular Diffraction of Light," the beginning of a series of experiments with his collaborators that eventually led to his discovery of the radiation effect that bears his name on February 28, 1928, and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930.
