Abstract

Indian Physicist Dr C.V. Raman, the founder of the Raman Spectroscopy, is the only Indian who received Nobel Prize in Science. Raman trained almost 100 scientists in his laboratory who influenced the development of science and technology in India. Dr L A Ramdas was one of them who began his research career under Raman in the beginning of 1920s. Not only, he coined the term ‘Raman Effect’, but also studied the scattering of light in gases and vapours. The present book written by Dr Rajinder Singh, presents Ramdas’s work on light scattering in association with Raman, his venture in establishing a new field namely, Agricultural Meteorology, and subsequently the discovery of Ramdas Layer, named after him.
