The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was presented on 24 April 1914, to the German Physical Society in a paper by James Franck and Gustav Hertz.
- Franck and Hertz had designed a vacuum tube for studying energetic electrons that flew through a thin vapour of mercury atoms.
- They discovered that when an electron collided with a mercury atom, it could lose only a specific quantity of its kinetic energy before flying away.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Franck–Hertz experiment article was read about 22,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
