\subsection{Neon Experiment}   Using \ref{fig:NeonAnalysis} and Eq. \ref{eq:lowestlevel}, we plugged in x to be 0.5 to find the excitation level for each of the linear fits shown in the plot. This generated a excitation energy of $19.4993 \pm 0.6$ eV. However,according to the NIST website,  thisnumber  is closer to not consistent with  the second first  excitation energy  level shown on the NIST website.  (Fig. \ref{fig:NeonEnergyLevels}.) \\ When we subtract the background from Fig. \ref{fig:NeonAnalysis}, the first excitation level turns out to be quite high. And this has to be the first excitation level because we derived Eq. \ref{eq:lowestlevel} by setting $E_a$ equal to the lowest energy level. So, we conclude that we our data does not match the first excitation level of around 16.62eV. \\
