May 23, 2018 · James Franck was a physicist whose experimental work with atoms and electrons proved Niels Bohr's theory that atoms are quantized—that they transmit and absorb energy in discrete quantities or packages. Along with collaborator Gustav Hertz, he was awarded the 1925 Nobel Prize in physics.
Jun 1, 2010 · James Franck was one of Germany’s leading experimental physicists in the 1920s and early 1930s. He is remembered by physicists today primarily because of the Franck-Hertz experiment, for which he and Gustav Hertz were awarded the 1925 Nobel Prize in Physics, and for the Franck-Condon principle.
James Franck was born in Hamburg on 26 August 1882, the son of Jacob and Rebecca Franck. In his school, a sound training in classics was regarded as the principal aim of education, and it was largely due to Franck’s lack of interest in languages that he was considered to be a boy of little promise. At an early age he earned for himself the ...
