Gustav Ludwig Hertz

1887–1975

Gustav Ludwig Hertz (1887–1975) was a German experimental physicist who, with James Franck, conducted the Franck–Hertz experiment, which provided direct evidence for the Bohr model of the atom and quantized energy levels. He later worked on isotope separation and gas diffusion during World War II, and after the war, he led research in the Soviet Union before returning to East Germany. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1925.
