Gustav Hertz was a German physicist who, with James Franck, received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1925 for the Franck-Hertz experiment. This experiment confirmed the quantum theory that energy can be absorbed by an atom only in definite amounts and provided an important confirmation of the Bohr.

May 23, 2018 · Known for his collaborations with fellow colleague James Franck at the University of Berlin, German scientist Gustav Hertz (1887-1975) achieved fame and success early in life when he and Franck documented the changes in energy that occur when an electron strikes an atom.
The Franck–Hertz experiment was the first electrical measurement to clearly show the quantum nature of atoms, and thus "transformed our understanding of the world". It was presented on April 24, 1914, to the German Physical Society in a paper by James Franck and Gustav Hertz.
