Dr.C.V.RAMAN
In Bangalore

He came to Bangalore as the Director of the Tata Institute (the Indian Institute of
Science) in 1933. The Tata Institute soon became famous for the study of crystals. The diffraction of light (the very slight bending of light around corners) by ultrasonic waves (high frequency sound waves which we cannot hear) in a liquid was elegantly explained by Raman and Nagendranath. This became known as the 'Raman-Nath Theory'.
