RAMAN, Chandrasekhara Venkata (1888-1970). A New Radiation... Inaugural Address delivered before the South Indian Science Association, Bangalore, on the 16th March, 1928. Offprint from: The Indian Journal of Physics, Vol. II, Part III. Calcutta: Calcutta University Press, 31 March 1928.
8o. One photographic plate. Original printed wrappers; cloth folding case.
FIRST EDITION, offprint issue, from the Indian Journal of Physics printed in Calcutta which Raman founded in 1926. This is the author's seminal paper on the Raman effect, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1930. The American optical physicist R.W. Wood called it "one of the most convincing proofs of the quantum theory of light" (quoted in DSB). Raman lines, discovered by studying the scattering of light by fluids and other substances, "are due to the loss or gain of energy experienced by photons as a result of their interaction with the vibrating molecules of the substance through which they pass" (Weber, Pioneers of Science, pp.93-94). Rare.
