Description:

Neon gas filled signs are excited with a 5000v source. Students can observe the spectral "curves" obtained from the different neon gas signs. One sign says neon, another has the periodic table symbol for neon, Ne and a third sign is bent into the equation E=hn to remind students of the principle they are studying.
