February 28 marks the celebration of National Science Day 2020. On this day, in the year 1928, Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman discovered the 'Raman Effect.' Also called the Raman scattering it means the inelastic scattering of photons by matter, meaning that there is an exchange of energy and a change in the light's direction. The discovery of this finding is used heavily by chemists and physicists to gain information about materials for a variety of purposes. This discovery also gave C.V. Raman the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930. In his honour, the day is celebrated as National Science Day. People who are keen into the field have shared C.V.Raman's quotes, images and messages for National Science Day. #RamanEffect, #CVRaman and #NationalScienceDay are thus trending on Twitter. National Science Day 2020 Quotes: Send These Science Day Messages via WhatsApp and Facebook to Mark the Discovery of the Raman Effect.

Every year there is a specific theme to the celebration of National Science Day. This year's National Science Day 2020 theme is "Women in Science." Another objective of marking this day is to highlight the importance and promote the field of science. On this National Science Day, people are sharing his photos, messages and quotes of C. V. Raman.
