- The Raman effect is the inelastic scattering of light by molecules. - When a photon interacts with a molecule, energy can be exchanged, causing the photon's wavelength to change. This energy exchange corresponds to transitions in the vibrational or rotational energy levels of the molecule. - Inelastic scattering means that the kinetic energy of the interacting particles is not conserved.
Raman effect is due to: (1) Inelastic collision of photon with e- (2) Elastic collision of photon with e- (3) Inelastic collision of photon with molecule (4) Elastic collision of photon with molecule
