Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the emission spectra of hydrogen (H), helium (He), neon (Ne), mercury (Hg), and nitrogen (N₂). Participants seek sources to compare their lab results, specifically looking for wavelengths of spectral lines for these elements.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests online resources or journal articles that provide the wavelengths of spectral lines for H, He, Ne, Hg, and N₂.
  • Another participant suggests a NIST website as a potential source for spectral data, indicating that users can specify the atom and wavelength range.
  • A third participant expresses uncertainty about the effectiveness of the NIST site but acknowledges it could help verify their work.
  • A different source is provided, linking to HyperPhysics, which is said to contain the relevant spectra.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on a single source, as participants provide different links and express varying levels of confidence in their usefulness.

Hey all,

I have a lab coming up that deals with the emission spectra of [tex]H[/tex], [tex]He[/tex],[tex]Ne[/tex],[tex]Hg[/tex], and [tex]N_2[/tex]

I am looking around for some sources to compare my results to, and I thought I would post here in case anyone knows of a good (preferably online) journal article or reputable website that would have this information (wavelengths of the spectral lines for these elements). I'm sure I'll find it on my own eventually, but if you guys know of such a thing offhand a link would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks :)

Not sure if that will work as a source, but it will certainly allow me to check my work.
