SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a reliable source for the electron energy value of 4.9 eV, specifically in the context of the Frank-Hertz experiment. The user, Kel, seeks alternatives to Wikipedia, which their lecturer does not consider a credible reference. A suggested resource is HyperPhysics, which provides detailed information on the experiment and related concepts. This highlights the importance of using reputable academic sources for scientific data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Frank-Hertz experiment
  • Familiarity with electron energy levels
  • Knowledge of reliable scientific resources
  • Basic concepts of quantum mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the HyperPhysics website for detailed explanations of the Frank-Hertz experiment
  • Explore academic journals for peer-reviewed articles on electron energy values
  • Investigate other reputable physics databases like NIST or arXiv
  • Learn about the historical context and significance of the Frank-Hertz experiment in quantum mechanics
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in physics, particularly those studying quantum mechanics and experimental physics, will benefit from this discussion as they seek credible sources for scientific data.

Hi

I'm in the middle of writing up the Frank-Hertz experiment as part of my lab module this year, but I'm having trouble finding a 'reliable' website that I can use to quote the electron energy value (ie 4.9eV).

I'm afraid my lecturer refuses to acknowledge wikipedia as a good source.

So, even though I have the value that I need, could anyone suggest a website that I can use as a source for this info - and therefore for future work.

Cheers
Kel
