What type of spectrum can view for an individual element that is characteristics for that element?

These could be, for example:\n\nEmission Line Spectrum\nAbsorption Line Spectrum

Actually, this is a really hard one: color arises from light having different frequencies, and the different colors are reflected with varying efficiency from various substances: so a red color arises from a substance that reflects well low frequencies (red) and absorbs higher ones (blue and yellow).\n\nNow what determines in which way a given substance reflects light at different frequencies? That varies a lot: for starters, some atoms *are* in fact colored, that is, they reflect one frequency more  than another: chlorine gas is an example. This is also frequently the case for molecules (dyes). On the other hand, it is also often caused by some effect that cannot be traced back to the individual parts that make up the whole: think of a sand heap: clearly, none of the grains is a heap, nor is there any specific grain which gives the heap its peculiar properties. What makes a sand heap is just the large number of grains, all acting mutually one upon the other. A crowd, similarly, often does things you cannot really explain in terms of the individuals that make it up. Similarly, for example, a large number of copper atoms find a weird way of reflecting certain frequencies much more than others: it is a property of the whole substance that cannot be reduced to the individual copper atoms. Color, by the way, is not at all the only such property.

Each line represents the transition of an electron from one level to a lower level.  Therefore, a line spectrum is the result of many electron transitions.

Yes.  In fact protons even from two different elements are indistinguishable.  This is a fundamental property that is quite interesting, and it results in some very odd behavior.

so you plot the proton number on the y-axis, and the different melting points of the elements across the x- axis.. actually are sure it has to be a bar graph.. i think a line/scatter graph would be more accurate maybe?

You can use Aldrich, which will give you a sample spectra of the compound. It would be very useful for identification based on a comparison of the fingerprint region (<900 cm-1)\n\nAny Organic book worth its salt will have typical vibrational frequencies. You can also do a yahoo search to get them.

http://periodic.lanl.gov/default.htm\n\nClick on the element, and it's in the top section of information. To write out the electron configuration for every element would take quite a while, so if you need it for a specific element or a few elements, I'd reccomend asking just for the few.

Something involving atomic spectra.  For example see\nhttp://www.fas.harvard.edu/~scdiroff/lds/QuantumRelativity/StreetLampSpectra/StreetLampSpectra.html

The manufacturer may be able to supply you with the spectral analysis for a particular light source.  For example flourescent bulbs use UV to cause phosphors to emit light and may absorb most or all the UV in the process.

I'm not really sure what you mean, but here's a good site to look at the periodic table.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

You can either look it up or determine it experimentally.\nI cant get much more specific without additional details.

Each chemical absorbs a different portion of the light band. The portions that are not absorbed are what give things color. If you're looking at the spectral analysis of a star, you can tell what chemicals are present by the black bands on the light spectrum, which represent absorbed light. If that color is absorbed, then the corresponding chemical must be present.

Emission lines of different wavelength depending upon what is being studied.

If you mean by "broad band" the entire electromagnetic spectrum, visible light is a small bit (of the entire spectrum)that our eyes are able to detect.  As far as particular wavelengths/freqs and other cool info go see:\nhttp://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/emspectrum.html

if you mean spectroscopy and related fields here's something.\n\nspectrum:  variation of intensity with frequency or wavelength.\n\nstudy of intensity of the radiation. Basically\nyou have an unkown source of light. You tell what frequencies\n(or colours) are how much intense.\nUsually it's of the following types\n\nOptical spectroscopy (visible light)\nX -ray spectroscopy\ninfrared spectroscopy\nneutron spectroscopy\nthomson spectroscopy\nradio\n\nspectra can be absorption or emmision. \n\natomic specroscopy\nmolecular spectroscopy\n\nall this info can be used to study known materials\nand find composition of un-known materials.\nhealth purposes too
