Light Spectrum

In this lab, we looked through spectroscopes to see light spectrums. There are three spectra. Those are Continuous, Emission, and Absorption.


Continuous Spectra (all the colors)
red yellow green blue purple


Emission
red yellow green


Absorption
red brown yellow green purple


After covering this, we got creative and started looking through the spectroscopes when a jarred chemical is placed in front of the light.


Hydrogen
red green purple


Mercury
red orange green purple


Nitrogen
red orange yellow green blue purple


Argon
red orange green purple


Helium
red orange green blue


Neon
