The phenomenon named for Indian physicist Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, is the change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules.
The Main Idea
When a beam of light traverses a dust-free, transparent sample of a chemical compound, a small fraction of the light emerges in directions other than that of the incident (incoming) beam. Most of this scattered light is of unchanged wavelength. A small part, however, has wavelengths different from that of the incident light. The presence of these wavelengths is due to the Raman effect.
