Abstract. This article
describes a lecture demonstration of the Raman effect. It presents a method
for using a simple arrangement of optical components to project Raman
lines from liquid samples. The Raman lines are visible as different colors
of light projected on a screen several meters away. The demonstration
is appropriate for physical, analytical or instrumental analysis courses.
Key Words: Laboratories and Demonstrations; physical chemistry; instrumental analysis; analytical chemistry; Raman; spectroscopy
