The Franck-Hertz-Versuch experiment with neon demonstrates the quantized nature of atomic energy levels, confirming Bohr's atomic model through electron collisions with neon atoms.
Key points:
- The experiment uses a voltage difference of 18.3V between maxima
- Electrons undergo elastic and inelastic collisions with neon atoms
- Multiple energy transitions are possible, resulting in characteristic wavelengths
- The setup includes a cathode, grid, and collecting anode
- The experiment produces visible light emissions from excited neon atoms
