Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect about the Raman effect?

• A. Raman effect can be seen by passing a monochromatic beam of light through benzene
• B. During scattering, the wavelength of the light used may change
• C. The wavelength of the monochromatic light used to show the Raman effect is approximately $4358$ $\stackrel{o}{A}$
• D. In Raman scattering the wavelength of the scattered light is the same as that of the incident light

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

In Raman scattering the wavelength of the scattered light is the same as that of the incident light

Raman effect is shown using benzene, the wavelength of light used is 400 nm- 700 nm and the wavelength of light does change during scattering.

So, the incorrect answer is (D) In Raman scattering the wavelength of the scattered light is the same as that of incident light.
