Franck Hertz experiment and the Mean Free Path
As part of my project in physics, I tried to repeat the franck hertz experiment, I did the same experiment with Neon and Mercury (the lengh between the catode and lattice is $5 mm$), I measured the ...

Is penetration of a fast particle deep into a medium a quantum mechanical effect?
Consider the cosmic rays. The muons can travel 15000 meters through the atmosphere and get down to sea level. If this is not a quantum mechanical effect, its penetration depth is determined by the ...
