Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying visible wavelengths of neon and finding resources that provide a clear list of these wavelengths linked to a spectrum color chart. Participants express the need for specific information rather than overwhelming data sets.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests a list of visible wavelengths for neon and mentions difficulty in finding clear resources.
  • Another participant suggests the NIST Atomic spectra database as a potential resource.
  • Some participants express that the NIST database provides too much information, making it challenging to isolate only the visible wavelengths.
  • There are suggestions to input a specific wavelength range to narrow down results.
  • Participants mention the option to set a minimum relative intensity to filter for brighter lines, which could reduce the number of results to a manageable amount.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of the NIST database but disagree on its effectiveness in providing only the visible wavelengths, indicating that multiple competing views remain regarding the best approach to obtain the desired information.

Contextual Notes

Participants note limitations in the NIST database's output, including the challenge of filtering through excessive data and the need for clearer presentation of the wavelengths associated with specific colors.

I need a list of neon visible wavelengths.

I wonder if any of you know of any good resources.

I've tried searching but sometimes I get too many numbers. I also need to link each number with the spectrum colour chart, but so far I can't find anything like that.

cos I don't want just want an image of the spectrum with a scale, I want the numbers. Thank you.

The only one I've managed to find is this:
Neon%20-%20Atomspektrum.jpg


But the numbers are too blurry

Have you tried the NIST Atomic spectra database?

like I mentioned earlier, it throws out everything. too much info. i only need the visible ones.

You can input a wavelength range.
 
You can also have it output to a text file that you could read into something like Excel. Then you can sort it however you want.

I did that too. Still too many. Maybe you can help me narrow it down?

I just need the wavelengths for these few lines:

You can also set the minimum relative intensity so that you just see the brighter lines. For example, if you set the minimum relative intensity to 20,000 (at the bottom), you just get 11 lines. This should be a small enough sample to get you started.
