Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for his discovery of the Raman effect, the scattering of light by molecules that shifts its wavelength. The finding, made in 1928, made Raman the first Asian and first non-white scientist to receive a Nobel Prize in a branch of science.
