Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar FRS (/ ˌ tʃ ə n d r ə ˈ ʃ eɪ k ər /; [3] 19 October 1910 – 21 August 1995) [4] was an Indian-American theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to the scientific knowledge about the structure of stars, stellar evolution and black holes.
The Raman effect is named after Indian scientist C. V. Raman, who discovered it in 1928 with assistance from his student K. S. Krishnan. Raman was awarded the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of Raman scattering. The effect had been predicted theoretically by Adolf Smekal in 1923.
After primary education in Gudivada, he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Nizam College, Hyderabad, under Madras University. Impressed by the discoveries of C. V. Raman, he relocated to Calcutta and joined him in 1928. After the Nobel Prize-winning discovery, Raman chose Bhagavantam as his collaborator to further his ...
Nobel laureate Sir C. V. Raman conducted his work on the Raman effect in this institute. [71] His work was first published in the Indian Journal of Physics, which is published by IACS. [72] At the university, Debashis Mukherjee developed the Mk-MRCC method to account for electron correlations in molecular systems.
As a student of the college he had wanted to work under Sir C. V. Raman. When his father consulted Raman, Raman suggested reading Lehrbuch der theoretischen Physik [1] by Georg Joos. Ramakrishnan studied the book and developed an interest in theoretical physics and special relativity in particular. [2]
