Strong lines in spectra of selected elements

These are NOT exhaustive lists -- they are just a few of the strongest lines visible to human eyes. The units of wavelength are nanometers. The "strength" values are just rough guidelines to suggest which lines might be the strongest within each element. They certainly do NOT indicate relative strengths from one element to the next.
