Scientific Papers of C.V. Raman: Volume I : Scattering of Light

Abstract

This contains 94 papers on Scattering of Light. They cover Molecular Scattering, Colloid Scattering, Raman Scattering, Brillouin Scattering and also X-ray and Compton Scattering. This volume also has in it the celebrated monographMolecular Diffraction of Light(1922), the famous papers on the color of the sea, the first lecture on the Raman Effect, entitledA New Radiation(1928) and the Nobel Lecture delivered at Stockholm in 1930. Many papers are of historical value showing, for example, how Raman blazed new trails by discovering such new phenomena as shear waves in liquids and soft mode processes in crystals. A unique collection of papers by a master, delineating the growth of a fascinating field.
