    Question

    Which of the following best describes the Raman

    Effect?
    A The scattering of light by a medium, resulting in a shift in the frequency of the scattered light. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The absorption of light by a medium, resulting in a shift in the frequency of the absorbed light. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The reflection of light by a medium, resulting in a shift in the frequency of the reflected light. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The diffraction of light by a medium, resulting in a shift in the frequency of the diffracted light. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Raman effect is the inelastic scattering of light from matter, with the scattered photons gaining or losing one quantum of energy of a vibrational mode to the material.
