Publisher's Synopsis

Raman was obsessed by colour in nature. The visual impact that the blue of the Mediterranean had on him culminated in his discovery of the Raman Effect.;Almost half of the papers published in this volume deal with colour in nature. He drew upon optical phenomena to explain such mysteries as the flashing rainbow colours of the plumage of birds, the hues of marble and limestone, the irridescence of feldspars of the labradorite variety, the schiller of moonstones, fire of opals, and the silky lustre of pearls, which no lapidary can ever reproduce.;Scientists, scientific institutes, university libraries, technology institutes and libraries, government laboratories and physics research centres.
