Kolkata, Aug 31 (IANS) To honour the memory of scientists C.V. Raman and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose, a global institute of engineers will put up two milestone plates in Kolkata.
The plates will commemorate the ‘Raman Effect’ discovered by Raman and Bose’s millimetre wave communications experiment.
“The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has decided to honour the achievements of C.V. Raman and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose. They have decided to place two milestone plaque — one at Presidency College, where Bose worked, and another at IACS where Raman worked,” IEEE Kolkata Chairman Sivaji Chakraborti told IANS Friday.
IEEE President Peter Staker will install the plates Sep 15.
Between 1894 and 1900, Bose performed pioneering research on radio waves and generated millimetre waves. His work predates that of Guglielmo Marconi’s long-wave radio demonstration in Britain and is associated with radio’s development.
Raman won the Nobel Prize in 1930 for his discovery that stated when a beam of coloured light entered a liquid, a fraction of the light was scattered with a different colour depending on the material property.
