It's not that it's not correct, it was that the experiment proved it wrong.
And it is helpful because it tells the scientist that their idea was incorrect do to speak and that the experiment proved it.
You can still write a very good report if the hypothesis was proven wrong

is it true that an experiment is meant to prove that the hypothesis is correct?
An experiment is performed to generate more data. If the data proves to not support the hypothesis the experiment was still useful. You could reproduce your experiment to see if it is performing the way it should. After you have confirmed the experiment is performing correctly you then could devise another experiment to further test your hypothesis or accept the result and revise your hypothesis.
How can finding out that a hypothsis is not correct be useful for a scientist?
Hypotheses are based on theories. If a hypothesis seems incorrect then a scientist knows that she has been mistaken about her understanding of the theory, and that's why she formed the wrong hypothesis to test. Or it might be that she has learned that there are new conditions under which the theory does not hold, and that the theory must be refined. Both of these are useful to scientists.
