As seen in Figure \reference{ Neon Refined Differences  the intercept at $n=0.5$ is $12.5 eV$, which is quite different from the expect value of $16.619eV$. For the dips it is a little bit better at a value of $~19eV$. It is unlikely that even with the inclusion of error, the measured value for the lowest excited energy would match the expected value. This may be because the Franck-Hertz curve collected only had 3 dip values and 2 peak values. Had more dips and peaks been observed before ionization, the intercept at $n=0.5$ might have been closer to the expected value.
