CV Raman

Good morning students. Aa summer has started ,it's very important to drink

more water everyday.

Sir, is water colourless?

What do you think ?

I think blue because in the map as well as in oceans the color of the water is blue but still have doubt in
determining the color.

I appreciate your curiousity. You think like Raman.

Who is Raman ? Is he studying other class?

Haha!!! No...He is the Indian noble prize winner popularly known as Sir CV Raman

who is an Indian Scientist.

Let me say about his discovery .

One day while returning from England abroad a ship that Raman found himself facing a question

that left him perplexed. “A glass of water does not have any colour of its own. But the same

water in the deep sea appears a brilliant blue. Why is this so?”, he asked himself as he gazed out

at the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

The answer he found wa the sea looked blue because it reflected the colour of the sky.

Oh yeah, now I understand .The water acts as a mirror and so it reflects the color of sky.

Is it? But he was not convinced with the answer.Raman knew that visual and

qualitative observations alone would not be sufficient information.

Raman conducted further investigations about it and found that the light of only one colour

was being passed through the liquid, but the light that was emerging had traces of

another colour.

So he observed the effect only in water?

No my boy. Raman indicated that approximately 60 different liquids had been studied,

and all showed the same result — some scattered light had a different color than
the incident light.

Sir but how it could be possible ?

The principal feature observed is that when matter is excited by light of one colour,

the atoms contained in it emit light of two colours, one of which is different from

the exciting colour and is lower down the spectrum. The astonishing thing is that

the altered colour is quite independent of the nature of the substance used.

This discovery was named after him as "Raman effect" and got Noble prize in 1930.

Wow!!He is really a genius. A simple question leads him to discovery a phenomenon

whose universal nature has to be recognized.

Now you say ,is the color of water blue?

I won't conclude just by visual perception I will study and carry out simple experiment like

him and will find the answer.

That's good . I'm eagerly waiting for your answer.

Issac Newton

Apple plays a important role in Physics.

The story of gravitation comes when an apple falls on a scientist head.

Once upon a time a little bit named Issac Newton played with his friends.

He was tired of playing so he sat under a tree for rest.That time an apple falls on his

head suddenly. He was confused why the apple fell down and not to fly up.

He asked the same question to many people but no one could give him a proper answer.

This thought bothered him many days. Issac observed that everything that he throws up

will eventually come down to earth and won't stay up permanently. He got obsessed to
to find the answer and worked day and night to find the answer.

Then he found it was Gravity that pulls the object back to earth. Whenever he throw

something up the Earth's gravity pulls the object .

Imagine how objects in the earth will be without gravity.

Everything in earth will float in the air. That's the reason why astronauts float in space.

So If you wanna fly you don't need wings just go to space with space suits.
