4. Neon  gas tubeMeasure and draw  the wavelength of any line spectra  that  appear on  the blankspectrum  on your data sheet. Sketch the range of any colors observed using thecolored  pencils  and note  regions where  the  colors are most bright and most dim.

5. Mercury gas tubeMeasure and draw  the wavelength of any line spectra  that  appear on  the blankspectrum  on your data sheet. Sketch the range of any colors observed using thecolored  pencils and note regions where the colors are most bright and most dim.

6. Nitrogen  gas tubeMeasure and draw  the wavelength of any line spectra  that  appear on  the blankspectrum  on your data sheet. Sketch the range of any colors observed using  thecolored  pencils and note regions where the colors are most bright and most dim.

7. "Plant Grow"  light bulbThis is a bulb that is supposed to provide more light in the wavelengths thatplants use than normal light bulbs. Sketch what you see, marking thewavelengths that  define each colored region. Mark the limits of your visual rangeon both ends of the spectrum. Sketch the range of any colors observed using thecolored pencils and note regions where the colors are most bright and most dim.

8. Compact Fluorescent light fixtureMeasure and draw  the wavelength  of any line spectra  that appear on the blankspectrum  on your data sheet. Sketch the range of any colors observed  using the  colored  pencils and note regions where the colors are most bright and most dim.

9. Chemical Light SticksThese light sticks  work by a chemical reaction which releases light energyinstead of heat, sound, or electricity as other reactions may do. The reaction isvery similar to the one that occurs in the tails of fireflies! On your data sheet,sketch what you see, marking the wavelengths  that define each colored  region.  Also, mark the limits of your visual range on both ends of the spectrum. Sketchthe range of any colors observed using  the colored pencils and note regionswhere the colors are most bright and most dim.

10. Fluorescent light  sourceTurn your spectrometer slit toward a standard fluorescent light tube. This typeof lighting is very common in schools and offices because it uses much lesselectricity  than  traditional incandescent light bulbs.  Measure  and  draw the  wavelength of any line spectra that appear on the blank spectrum  on your datasheet.  Sketch  the  range  of any  colors  observed  using  the  colored  pencils,  and  note the regions where the colors are most bright and most dim.
