In 1928,who discovered that when a ray of coloured light enters a liquid, a fraction of the light scattered by that liquid is of a
different colour?
SN Bose
Lord Rayleigh
CV Raman
John Tyndall
Sure, let’s break it down:
- Option 1: SN Bose
Bose made major contributions to physics, especially with Bose-Einstein statistics and work on quantum mechanics, but he’s not the one who discovered the colored light scattering in liquids.
- Option 2: Lord Rayleigh
He’s famous for Rayleigh scattering, which explains why the sky is blue. His work is more about how light scatters in gases, not what happens when colored light enters liquids.
- Option 3: CV Raman
Here’s the real deal: CV Raman discovered in 1928 that when colored light passes through a liquid, some of the scattered light emerges at a different wavelength—a different color altogether. This is called the “Raman Effect” and it changed how scientists study molecules.
- Option 4: John Tyndall
Tyndall did important work on light scattering too (the Tyndall effect makes beams of light visible in fog), but again, it’s not the color-shifted scattering described in your question.
So yes, your pick is spot on. CV Raman is the correct answer.
