\section{Analysis of Argon Data}  For Argon, like Mercury, the quadratic background needed In order  to be removed. To do that, improve the accuracy of  theoriginal Argon  data collected, it  was fit essential  to a subtract off the background, using the same procedure that was used in the analysis of the F-H curve for Mercury. Figure 6 features three distinct lines. The blue line is the raw Mercury data, the green line is the  quadratic function. fit of the Mercury data, and the orange line is the final data for Mercury.  The orange line was found by taking the  original Argon Mercury  data was then subtracted from (in blue) and subtracting  the quadratic fit, fit (in green)  to produce theArgon  data without background.\\ the background. The background changes the position of the peaks and dips. By removing the background, the actual Franck-Hertz curve for Mercury could be observed.
