\section{Analysis of Mercury Data}  In order to improve the accuracy of the data collected, it was essential to subtract off the background. Figure Figure:  Mercury Fits features three distinct lines. The blue line is the raw Mercury data, the green line is the quadratic fit of the Mercury data, and the orange line is the final data for Mercury. The orange line was found by taking the original Mercury data (in blue) and subtracting the quadratic fit (in green) to produce the data without 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.
