Ein Grundstein der Atomphysik: die gängige Lehrbuchinterpretation des Franck-Hertz-Experiments lässt viele Fragen offen

The Franck-Hertz experiment from 1914 is lacking in any textbook, it shows clearly the quantized properties of atoms and thus lays the foundation for modern atomic physics. However, failing the traditional interpretation when several excited levels come into play. Only an analysis from the perspective of elemental kinetic theory of gases allows it to produce the correct relationship between microscopic processes which are subject to the laws of quantum mechanics, and the laboratory-measured macroscopic sizes.
