Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman

Indian quantum physicist, known for the Raman effect: (Why is the sky blue?) Winner of the 1930 Nobel Prize for Physics. Fellow of the Royal Society.

Distinguish from his nephew Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, also a distinguished physicist, who discovered the Chandrasekhar limit on the minimum stellar masses which may form black holes.
