Asian Heritage Month: Raman Fest – Chemistry and Noodles

April 17 at 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
| Room N-786

Asian Heritage Month 2024

Complete the following:

Raman refers to:

1. a type of noodle
2. a famous person
3. a city in Lebanon

Answer: If you guessed (2) you are correct.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman FRS was an Indian physicist known for his work in the field of light scattering. Using a spectrograph that he developed, he and his student K. S. Krishnan discovered that when light traverses a transparent material, the deflected light changes its wavelength and frequency.

The BMCC Science Department has a WiTec alpha 300R Confocal Raman Microscope with three lasers. Biological, forensic and nano-technological applications are some of the many research opportunities available in Raman Spectroscopy here at BMCC.

Come to the laboratory (room N-786) and see a demonstration of the versatility of Raman Spectroscopy.

Plus, refreshments including ramen noodles will be available.
