Match the letter located in the digital spectra above (in the second picture) with the correct statement about each spectrum. 1) Lines of neutral helium. Hydrogen lines moderately strong 2) Hydrogen lines very strong and dominate the spectrum. 3) Lines of ionized helium; most lines are weak because the star is so hot most electrons are removed from atoms and there are few atoms making transitions. 4) Lines of neutral elements strongest. Singly ionized calcium lines are weaker, but still present. 5) Lines of easily ionized elements like singly ionized calcium are strong; hydrogen lines are weak because it is not hot enough for hydrogen to be in the n=2 state. 6) Singly ionized Calcium (393.0 nm) and a hydrogen line (434.0 nm) are about equal strength. 7) Many lines of neutral elements and molecular states.
