The Frank Hertz Experiment (FH - 3001) is a classic physics laboratory setup designed to demonstrate the quantized nature of energy levels in atoms. Based on the groundbreaking experiment by James Franck and Gustav Hertz, this apparatus allows users to observe the excitation of atomic electrons through electron collisions, providing direct evidence of discrete energy states.
This experiment typically uses a gas-filled tube (commonly neon or mercury vapor) and a triode-type electron tube to illustrate how electrons lose energy in quantized amounts. The setup includes regulated power supplies, voltmeters, and ammeters for precise control and observation of the current-voltage characteristics.
Key Features:
Demonstrates energy quantization in atoms
Clearly shows peaks in the collector current vs. accelerating voltage curve
Supplied with a gas-filled tube and digital meters
Safe and reliable for undergraduate lab use
Compact, easy-to-operate design.
