Franck Hertz Experiment Simulation

The Franck Hertz Experiment Simulation helps students investigate the quantized excitation of neon atoms through inelastic electron collisions. By adjusting filament, accelerating, and anode voltages, students can observe how electron energy influences atomic excitation and the resulting current measurements. The simulation enables learners to record and interpret the Franck-Hertz characteristic curve, identify discrete energy absorption, and determine the excitation energy of neon. Students can also observe spectral bands produced when excited neon atoms return to lower energy states. Through interactive experimentation, the Franck Hertz Experiment Simulation provides a safe and repeatable way to understand quantized atomic energy levels and connect experimental observations with the principles of modern atomic physics.
