      \"AP<\/p>\n

      Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.\u2019 -Thomas Alva Edison<\/p>\n

      Thomas Alva Edison, the greatest inventor of all times, is the most suitable example of his own saying. This great, outstanding US inventor had the credit of making 1001 inventions. Can you imagine a world without electric light, recorded music, cinema, etc. which are the contributions of this great genius?<\/p>\n

      Edison was born on February 11, 1847 at Milan, Ohio. His father was in-charge of a light house at Lake Huron. Although he could not continue his studies in his school, he was very inquisitive from his boyhood to learn by understanding. When he was only ten years old, he set up a laboratory in the basement of his father’s work place. He loved to mix liquids and powders to observe the reactions.<\/p>\n

      At the age of 12, he began selling newspapers and candy in trains. As a very keen observer, he learnt some preliminary techniques of telegraphy from the station master, which led him later to work as a roving telegrapher. During his stint as a supervisor in a Telegraph company, he created a stock printer. With the money received from it, he set up a laboratory for carrying out his experiments and research work. In subsequent years he invented phonograph \u2014 the machine for recording and reproducing sound. Edison thus made man\u2019s voice immortal. In 1878. he demonstrated the light bulb \u2014 a carbon filament electric bulb.<\/p>\n

      While experimenting on electric lamp, he discovered an important scientific principle known as \u2018Edison Effect\u2019. This discovery led to the invention of electron valves and the modern electronics industry rests on this principle. In 1882, he set up a power generating station which supplied power to a few residents of New York City. Later, he developed the kinetograph which was the first step towards motion picture camera. Cinema houses are here today because of the inventive genius of Edison. His other inventions include the spheres of X-rays, telephone and other electronic items. His inventions made him one of the richest men in America.
      \nThis great genius passed away on 18 October, 1931.<\/p>\n

      \nAnswer:
      \n‘A’ – At the outset, I would like to emphasise that it is not science that has proved to be more a curse than a blessing but its use by selfish man that has proved to be a real curse.
      \n‘B’ – May I begin by saying that unless there is something wrong in science itself, it cannot be abused. Hence science is a curse.
      \n‘C’ – I must take strong exception to what ‘B’ has said. Even a very useful product may be abused because of either lack of proper knowledge or malintention.
      \n‘D’ – Whatever may be one’s views, I must add that science is definitely a blessing. But no blessing comes to us with 100% positive uses. We must learn to use the positive side of it and ignore the negative side. That’s how wise people use science.
      \n‘E’ – We may conclude with supporting “D’. We must all work hard to minimize the evil results of science and maximise its good effects. Then there wouldn’t be any scope for sayings like ‘Science is a more a bane than a boon’.<\/p>\n

      C.V. Raman, the Pride of India Summary in English<\/h3>\n

      Chandrasekhar Venkata Raman was an eminent Indian Scientist. He was the first scholar who studied wholly in India. He was the first Indian Scientist to receive the Nobel Prize in Physics. He was also the first Asian as well as the first non-white to receive the Nobel Prize.<\/p>\n

      C. V. Raman was born at Tiruchirapalli in Tamil Nadu on November 7, 1888. His father was a college physics teacher. Right from the start, Raman was a brilliant student. So, when Raman passed his matriculation, his parents wanted to send him abroad for higher studies. But a British surgeon told them not to send him abroad as he was not healthy enough. Raman did his M.A. course at Presidency College in Madras (now called Chennai).<\/p>\n

      Raman was fond of the Science subject. When he was 19, he became a member of the Indian Association for Cultivation of Science. The headquarters of it was an old building on the busy Bowbazaar Street in Calcutta. Meanwhile Raman took up an administrative job in the Finance Ministry in Calcutta so as to respect the wishes of his parents.<\/p>\n

      In his youth, Raman was mainly interested in acoustics, the science of sound. He studied how stringed instruments like the sitar and the violin could produce harmonious music. He became a knight of the British Empire in 1929.<\/p>\n

      With equipment worth only Rs. 200 and limited facilities available in his laboratory, Raman was able to make a discovery known as the Raman Effect, which won him the Nobel Prize in physics in 1930. Earlier, in 1927, Professor A.H. Compton had won the Nobel Prize for the Compton Effect. Compton Effect says that the nature of X-rays changes when passes through the matter. Raman Effect says that the nature of light changes when passes through transparent medium. Raman\u2019s advice to the young scientists was to look at the world around them and not to confine themselves to their laboratories. Raman passed away in 1970 on November 21.<\/p>\n
