Question

National Science Day in India is celebrated on which date?

Hint:

This date honours the physicist who discovered the Raman Effect.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 28 February.

This date marks the discovery of the Raman Effect by physicist C. V. Raman, who announced his finding on 28 February 1928. The Raman Effect explains how light changes wavelength when it scatters through a substance.

In 1986, the Government of India declared 28 February as National Science Day to promote scientific thinking and honour this discovery, for which Raman later won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930.
