Answer 1

I don’t have the spectral chart you were given in lab, so I can’t reliably count the visible spectral lines or pick the exact lowest/highest wavelengths for each element from your assignment. Could you either

- upload or paste the spectral chart or the list of visible lines you were given, or
- confirm you want typical/commonly-cited visible emission lines (I can fill the table using standard literature values and note the assumptions)?

If you want the standard-value fill, I can complete the table now (and I’ll state which lines I used). Which do you prefer?
