BEX-8502A Franck-Hertz experiment apparatus
A vacuum tube containing argon produces many electrons by filament heating. Accelerated electrons collide with argon atoms and exchange energy. Electrons retaining enough energy cross a reverse retarding voltage and reach the plate, producing plate current measured by a microcurrent amplifier to obtain a current-voltage curve. Optional PASCO sensors or interfaces acquire live data, while software quickly processes and plots the waveform with 6 clearly visible peaks, upgrading the experiment to computer-based acquisition and analysis.
