The following atomic line spectra display six of the more prominent lines observed in the visible region for the indicated element. The number by each line represents its the relative intensity. A photograph of the actual spectrum of the element may show many more lines, or sometimes fewer lines, depending on the overall intensity of the spectrum. If two lines are within 1 nm of each other, they are shown as a single line. You can find a complete listing of the lines for each element at the
