Why is the Frank Hertz experiment different from the photoelectric effect? For common Blackbody experiments, the Hg lamp used is nearly white, made up of several intense spectral lines. Why is the Franck?hertz emission primarily blue? Does this correspond to the expected energy loss?

with regards to the Frank-Hertz experiment, How would increasing the temperature affect a graph of current vs accelerating voltage? Would there be a higher or lower background current? Sharper or less sharp peaks? instinctually I want to say the increased temperature would lead to increased electron emissions and thereby current in the graph but im not sure what it would do to the peaks, im thinking it will make the slopes more gradual as there are more electrons and chances...

1. The photoelectric effect experiment is often carried out by using a mercury light source to illuminate a particular surface. The emission spectrum of mercury has strong lines at wavelengths of 365.5 nm (ultraviolet), 404.7 nm (violet), 435.8 nm (blue), and 546.1 nm (green). The light can be passed through a diffraction grating to separate the light into these different wavelengths. Assume that photons of all these wavelengths have enough energy to overcome the work function of the surface. If...

In an experiment to measure the photon statistics of thermal light, the radiation from a blackbody source is filtered with an interference filter of bandwidth 0.1 nm centered on 500 nm, and allowed to fall on a photon-counting detector. Calculate the number of modes incident on the detector, and hence discuss the type of statistics that would be expected.
