CV Raman: First Indian to Win a Nobel Prize in Science
Upon hearing Compton's Nobel Prize in Physics, Raman remarked:
"This is fantastic news, truly wonderful. But Krishnan, think about it. If this phenomenon holds true for X-Rays, there has to be an Optical counterpart to the Compton Effect for Light. I've always believed in it. We need to explore this avenue, and I'm confident we're on the right track. We must discover it, and we will. The Nobel Prize is within our grasp, and we must seize it."
