摘要
In 1928, at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata (IACS), C V Raman and his associates showed that when monochromatic light is scattered by transparent media, the scattered light contains not only the original colour, but also other colours. This effect was named as Raman effect. It is well-known that K S Krishnan played a significant role in the discovery. The present article suggests that Raman's student, S Venkateswaran's contribution to the discovery had also been ignored. In French, German, Russian and Indian scientific literature, the Raman effect also appears under other names. The causes for it are explored. In the end a short summary over the sharing of the Nobel Prize among different discoverers is given.
