FTP, name this first Asian Nobel Laureate, winner of the prize in 1930.
Following the work done five years earlier by Compton on X-ray scattering, this physicist began studying similar scattering properties in light of optical wavelengths in 1928. His demonstration that optical light had particulate aspects just like X-rays strengthened the case for quantum mechanics. More importantly, he also showed that the spectrum of the scattered light was effected by the nature of the molecules doing the scattering, providing another probe of the fine details of molecular structure.
