GUSTAV LUDWIG HERTZ

(Redirected from Gustav Hertz)

'Gustav Ludwig Hertz' (July 22 1887, HamburgOctober 30 1975, Berlin) was a German physicist, and a nephew of Heinrich Rudolf Hertz.
Hertz won a Nobel Prize in 1925 for studies in cooperation with James Franck of electrons passing through gas. The Franck-Hertz experiment was an early physics experiment that provided support for the Bohr model of the atom, a precursor to quantum mechanics.
In 1914, an experiment probe of the energy levels of the atom was conducted. The now-famous Franck-Hertz experiment elegantly supported Niels Bohr's model of the atom, with electrons orbiting the nucleus with specific, discrete energies. He was the father of Carl Hellmuth Hertz.
