About this Item
RAMAN, Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata, and K. S. Krishnan, "The Production of New Radiations by Light Scattering, Part I", in Proceedings of the Royal Society, London, Harrison and Sons, 1929, series A, volume 122, the full volume offered of vi,718,xxii,vipp with the Raman/Krishnan on pp 23-35 (with two plates). Bound in half-calf with decorated boards (bound in Stockholm at the Osermalm's Bindery. There's a little bit of scuffing on the raised bands ; also this is a copy from a US Air Force library, with small rubber stamps on top and bottom of the text block, and a rubber stamp on the rear pastedown. Very heavily bound and sturdy, very nice copy. VG [++] Also bound with A.S. Eddington, The Charge of an Electron , pp 358-369 and A.H. Wilson, Perturbation Theory in Quantum Mechanics , pp 589-598; G. Temple, "The Tensorial Form of Dirac's Wave Equation" pp 352-357; Leading the volume is an interesting review of recent work by Ernest Rutherford, Anniversary Address, pp 1-23. [++] This is an expanded description of the Raman effect, the work for which Raman received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 "for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him" (Nobel site), that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength.(a) phenomenon.called Raman scattering the result being the Raman effect.--Encyclopedia Britannica [++] Raman publishes his paper for the first time a few months earlier in the Indian Journal of Physics, which led to a huge run of publications on the discovery at least 160 in the 1928-1929 period according to the bibliography on papers published on the Raman effect. "Bibliography of 150 Papers on the Raman Effect, 1928-1929" by Dr. A. S. Ganesan. Of the 160 papers 12 are by Raman, and it was in the paper offered here (#62 in the bibliography) where he offers material not addressed in his previous papers. [++] "After Compton had discovered the Compton effect Heisenberg (1925) pointed out .that this ought to be true for any em radiation, including visible light. That it was so in practice was shown in 1928 by.Raman. Raman spectra proved to be useful in determining some of the fine details of molecular structure." --Asimov Chronology [++] "Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman FRS (1888 1970) was an Indian physicist known for his work in the field of light scattering. Using a spectrograph that he developed, he and his student K. S. Krishnan discovered that when light traverses a transparent material, the deflected light changes its wavelength and frequency. This phenomenon, a hitherto unknown type of scattering of light, which they called "modified scattering" was subsequently termed the Raman effect or Raman scattering."--Wikipedia.
