I did a lab and have 2 unknown gases in gas discharge tubes that I observed with a spectroscope and recorded what lights and colors I saw at what wavelengths
well I have a list of elements that with wavelengths that match these 2 unknown gases and I have to see which two are the unknowns from that list.

If someone knows the colors of the light emitted from gas discharge tubes of all elements let me know, if you are good at this stuff PLEASE pm me.
