\end{split}  \end{equation}  The value of the excitation energy found from the linear fit was then compared to the known value of the lowest excitation energy for Mercury I ($4.67ev$ and $4.89ev$) (citation needed) . For the dips, when $n=0.5$, $E_{a}=4.72eV$. For the peaks, when $n=0.5$, $E_{a}=4.63eV$ The values found from the linear fits of the data agree with the accepted values of $E_{a}$ within uncertainty. Thus, excitation value found for the lowest state of Mercury quantitatively agrees with the expected value.\\  The fits for the peaks and dips are:
