Dimapur, March 5 (MExN): St. Mary’s Residential School, Alichen had observed national Science Day on March 5 with VY Vasagan, professor ICFAI University as chief guest. The chief guest inaugurated the celebration by planting trees and exhorted the students to plant trees to save earth. He also said that scientist like Sir CV Raman and other scientist have contributed for the fast development of science by innovating and discovering, stated a press note issued by the headmistress of the school.
The note also stated that the chief guest asked the young minds to take up science as their career by carrying forward the legacy of the present day and bygone scientists and can become scientists in future for which one should set a target and take up a unique area where one can make important contribution for the scientific advancement of the country and the world. He said when you "wish upon a star anything your heart desire will come to you". He also gave away the prizes of the competitions held on the day. Competitions in prepared speech, quiz, drawing and painting, essay writing were held.
The vice principal of the school in his introductory and welcome address highlighted the Raman Effect. He said that Raman Effect or Raman Scattering is an inelastic scattering of a photon. When light is scattered from an atom or molecule, most photon are elastically scattered with almost the same energy and wavelength as the incident photons. But a small fraction of the photons is scattered by excitation. The frequency of scattered photons is lower than the frequency of the incident photons.
