Hi! could you tell me which program did you use to make the draws? Many thanks in advance and sorry to bluntly ask you that.

[@zey2012]

This is so much simpler and easier to understand than the 8-page instruction from my class. Thanks a ton!

[@eliobatista3399]

Word

[@OlumideOni]

Nothing more than "Thank you". This is a very simple straight-to-the-point explanantion

[@PracticalNinjas]

Thanks Olumide Oni :) We are glad you liked the video.

[@lisanation2203]

im stressing out of my head doing my last minute chemistry and this comic sans honestly calmed me down so much

[@PracticalNinjas]

Glad we could help :)

[@griffitheternity4908]

Thanks - using RAMAN for my PHD and this was a great overview

[@video7639]

me too :)

[@syredeathtrooper]

Fantastic video. So concise and so clear. Explained better than most PhD professors could!

[@PrabhavShukla1]

This was so beautifully explained!
I learnt all this in my 1st year of Engineering and forgot about it since it was not used in my work. I had to know the basics again today and other videos I went through left me even more confused, until I stumbled upon yours. Saved me a ton of time I'd have spent going back to reference books.
Thanks a lot man! Musch appreciated

[@PracticalNinjas]

Glad we could help you Prabhav Shukla. Thanks a lot for your positive comments. Such feedback from our viewers motivates us to create and publish such more videos :)

[@ruloufo]

I'm an analytical chemist and this is the best Raman spectroscopy explanation I've ever seen! Well done!

[@eric831017win]

Thanks from Taiwan

[@bhattvd1]

You are a good teacher! First time a lay man like me can understand Raman Spectrometry! Thanks.

[@Taiki-vo7tu]

Watching this as a revision for my test tomorow and i can confidently say that ive never had this topic explained to me so well before

[@sushmitagautam5397]

I can't imagine anyone else teaching in such a Simplified Way...👌 Thanks 🙏🙏🙏 sir

[@smrutiranjanmohapatra5487]

Man you explained so well than my Copycat Book and My teacher hats off to you 😊

[@suryanshvaibhav]

Now it is clear why and how raman effect it is ??
Thank You ❣️

[@SubrahmanyamDevarakonda]

its not about electrons. The molecules have different vibrational levels. Raman scattering doesnt have enough energy to make electronic configuration shift. It just changes vibrational state of molecule. I guess.

[@ammarbarbhaiwala9908]

I have been studying this topic in physics and I could understand it but you made it so simpler

[@PracticalNinjas]

We are glad you liked the explanation :)

[@hanaa5365]

Could you please share your material if you still have it?

[@vidal9747]

Thank you. Learning Raman for my undergrad project and this video was very useful

[@Niet177]

So simple and didactic, just brilliant.

Thanks! this is the best explanation ever

[@Rahul-kg8it]

Very understanding within 5 min..

[@PracticalNinjas]

Thanks and do subscribe for more information 😎

[@j.d.burton5097]

The inelastic process in Raman is a change in vibrational and/or rotational energy state of whole molecules. What is explained here sounds more like electronic excitations, like in florescence.

[@charumalik6728]

nice video. Your explanation was quite thorough.

[@PracticalNinjas]

Thanks Charu Malik for such positive words. Glad you liked the video.

[@pandidpt2000]

thanks for making such a clear and concise video!

[@samiramammadova4942]

Thank you very much for such good explanation . Great

[@PracticalNinjas]

Glad you liked our video Samira Mammadova.

[@rishavharsh7014]

Your video is short, concise and misleading. Yes, you can explain the concept of stokes and anti-stokes with respect to electronic energy levels. But in raman spectroscopy, it is performed usually to observe the lattice vibrations in a sample. You missed out the part where you had to correlate the vibrational energy levels with phonon excitation which is the core of raman effect. Most people would keep your electronic excitation viewpoint if they dont look for more elaborate explanations. I do appreciate your video and we need more of it but it should be complete. All the very best for future works.

[@PracticalNinjas]

Thank you! Our backgrounds are not in pure sciences and we are interested in explaining the basics for better and easier understanding of the concepts.
Appreciate your inputs, we will try to improve in the future ones.

[@tdhanasekaran3536]

This explanation is good for Physical Chemistry students who are just beginning. The Raman effects are much more involved and an ocean by itself in science. For example to understand Raman effects in Solid state physics (crystalline amorphous and something in between) requires a deep knowledge in physics including Quantum mechanics and modelling of the Raman Spectra in complex situations to make sense of the experimentally observed Spectra.

[@firatbulak]

You are the man! Thank you for this perfect video!

[@ramisamuelson6941]

wow dude your video saved me, thank you very much!!!!

[@normadayanimerazmorales2516]

It was hard found some information about that I'm learning English, but you did it very easy for me, thank you a lot.

[@yogitakukreja2296]

[@RyukoChan87]

Wow this was so useful!
Thank you very much! :D

[@lokeshgnanasekar]

Very nice and clear. Awesome video!!!!!!!!

[@sikanderhayat7269]

thanks for sharing such vedio

[@dr.masapoguyellappa1587]

Nice explanation with understandable language

[@fractalnomics]

Fantastic, thank you. I am about to present on my channel how Raman spectroscopy will have us reinterpret the greenhouse atmosphere and this is useful background for me and others I hope. Raman spec. identifies N2 and O2's spectra, and their temperatures, and concentrations 4:13, and as a result I claim they too are greenhouse gases.

[@PracticalNinjas]

Sounds interesting Blair Macdonald. Instead of just understanding about the raman spectroscopy, it will be interesting for viewers to see how it can be applied and used for analysis. Thanks a lot for your comments and we are glad we could help. We will surely check your video once you publish it :)

[@RGSClassesEssential]

at 2:50 you are saying the vibration level of 'electron' I think the whole discussion should be understood in terms of the vibrational or rotational state of the 'molecule'. please correct me if I am wrong.

[@MrDiego8536]

Great explanation. Very helpful, thanks!

[@neetisingh2825]

Thanku so much sir...gdclass

[@ConanSoshi]

Big thanks

[@AA-fi1yu]

Thank you for explanation. But I have just two similar questions. Does the electron possesses different vibrational levels, or molecule? Does radiation impacts on molecule or electron?

[@ayushvishwakarma1384]

Thanks a lot sir . Helped a lot 🙏

[@Smoothcurveup52]

Thank you so much sir 🙏 best explaination

[@olamarca7171]

I have just watched other film about Raman scattering and the guy said that the energy is not absorbed in Raman and electrons are NOT excited in Raman and this is the difference between Raman and fluorescence. So?

[@manideepak2605]

crystal clear explaination....thankyou
