The
Franck-Hertz experiment is essential to the modern understanding of the nature of atoms. Particularly, the experiment is important to the understanding of atomic structure, and serves as evidence that lowest excitation energy
levels of atoms are discrete. In this version of the
experiment, Argon, Neon elements Neon, Mercury, and
Mercury were chosen because of their monatomic nature. A standard Franck-Hertz experimental set-up Argon was
modified so that it might be possible to resolve fine structure present in determined by analyzing the
observed signal. The observed signal was then analyzed. Minima and maxima fundamental properties of the signal
were plotted structure in
the Franck-Hertz experiment. In order to
extract accurately determine the lowest excitation energy
for each element. Data a new method proposed in \cite{Rapior_2006} was
then compared to predetermined values employed. The main idea is that the spacings between the minima in
order the Franck Hertz curve increase linearly due to
verify the
authenticity additional acceleration over the mean free path. Therefore a linear fit was applied to graphs of
spacings $\Delta E$ versus minimum order $n$. The fit estimated the
experiment. lowest excitation energies of Neon ($19.54\pm1.48 eV$), Mercury ($4.72\pm.25 eV$), and Argon ($11.36\pm.38 eV$) accurately within experimental uncertainty.
