    B Diffraction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Interference Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Polarisation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, was an Indian physicist, whose ground-breaking work in the field of light scattering earned him the 1930 Nobel Prize for Physics. He discovered that, when light traverses a transparent material, some of the deflected light changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman Effect.
