Franck-Hertz Experiment

In an attempt to bridge the distance between me and my students and to preserve the fleeting nature of our lecture snapshots through space-time, I am sharing these blackboard presentations. While they may not rival the fame of the Feynman lectures—and are bound by the constraints of our syllabus and exams—I hope they serve to spark a genuine love for physics in young minds.

"One can't teach anybody anything, but one can certainly endeavor to make them feel and love that which one teaches." — Galileo Galilei

Sometimes, more words make things a bit tedious, but they often provide the clarity we need to truly understand.

Lecture Snapshot: The Franck-Hertz Experiment

Below is a snapshot of my lecture on the Franck-Hertz Experiment. This work was historically vital, as it provided the first conclusive proof of the discrete energy structure within atoms.
