Experiment: Franck-Hertz Experiment for Neon (230 V, 50/60 Hz)

Description Objective: Record and evaluate the Franck-Hertz curve for neon and observe emission of light The Franck-Hertz experiment for neon involves observing how energy is transferred from electrons as a result of inelastic collision while passing through neon gas. The transfer of energy occurs in discrete steps corresponding to the excitement by such collision of distinct energy level transitions in the neon atoms. The excited atoms then emit visible light.
