So for the Mercury emission you were given that there were four lines.
One at 404 nm, 436 nm, 546 nm, and 580 nm.  For each of these you
recorded where it appeared in your spectroscope.  Plot your results on
the Y-axis and the actual values on the X-axis and fit a line to the
data to build the calibration plot.

You can see an example of such a plot on the class web page.
