Introduction

The LEAI-33 Franck-Hertz experiment apparatus can demonstrate the existence of Bohr atomic energy levels of mercury atoms. Experimental results can be recorded by manual data taking, viewed on an built-in screen, or exported to a PC for analysis. The most prominent feature is that in addition to measuring the first excitation potential, it can also measure higher-level excitation potentials of mercury atoms. It is an ideal teaching apparatus for physics laboratories at colleges and universities.


The instruction manual contains comprehensive materials including experimental configurations, principles and step-by-step instructions. Please click Experiment Theory and Contents to find more information about this apparatus.

 

Using this instrument, the following experiments can be conducted:

 

1. Understand the processes of electron-atom collision and energy exchange

2. Calculate the 1st excitation potential of Mercury atom from experimental data

3. Study the influence of temperature and voltages on F-H curve 

4. Measure high-level excitation potential of mercury atoms
