Gas Excitation Spectra

The first bar of gas was white (He)

·         When putting on the diffraction rating glasses, there were multiple spectrums of color (like a rainbow) that went out from the bar. The two bars that are directly to the left and right of the bar were made up of several lines ranging from blue to red. The strongest were green and orange (and maybe blue).
