[CHM 111 Lab] Atomic Spectra Sample Plot

The element refers to the metal found in the compound (Ca, Sr, Li, Na) 
or the emission lamp (Hg, etc)

You prepare your calibration plot from the mercury spectrum using the 
three spectral lines given in the lab report instructions.  You then use 
this information to determine the "nanometers" for the other spectra you 
observed.
