The energy spectral density describes how the energy (or variance) of a signal or a time series is distributed with frequency.
You can read more in Wikipedia 'Spectral Density', but you will need good maths to understand it!
The relationship between the wavelength of a spectral line and its energy is inverse. This means that as the wavelength decreases, the energy of the spectral line increases, and vice versa.
Amplitude spectral density is important in signal and system analysis because it helps to understand the distribution of signal power across different frequencies. By examining the amplitude spectral density, one can identify the dominant frequencies in a signal and analyze how the signal behaves in the frequency domain. This information is crucial for designing filters, detecting noise, and optimizing signal processing systems.
The emission of radiant energy that produces characteristic spectral lines is caused by electrons in atoms transitioning between energy levels. When an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one, it releases energy in the form of photons. Each element has a unique set of energy levels, resulting in distinct spectral lines that can be used for identification.
The symbol for energy density is U or ρ.
The shortest wavelength present in the Brackett series of spectral lines is in the infrared region around 1.46 micrometers. This series represents transitions in hydrogen atoms from higher energy levels to the n=4 energy level.
it states the power and energy of a given signal in terms of frequency
power spectral density (PSD), which describes how the power of a signal or time series is distributed with frequency. Here power can be the actual physical power, or more often, for convenience with abstract signals, can be defined as the squared value of the signal, that is, as the actual power if the signal was a voltage applied to a 1-ohm load.Since a signal with nonzero average power is not square integrable, the Fourier transforms do not exist in this case. Fortunately, the Wiener-Khinchin theorem provides a simple alternative. The PSD is the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function, R(Ï„), of the signal if the signal can be treated as a wide-sense stationary random process.The power of the signal in a given frequency band can be calculated by integrating over positive and negative frequencies.The power spectral density of a signal exists if and only if the signal is a wide-sense stationary process. If the signal is not stationary, then the autocorrelation function must be a function of two variables, so no PSD exists, but similar techniques may be used to estimate a time-varying spectral density.

Spectral interference occurs when spectral lines overlap. Inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry has more spectral interference as its higher energy allows more electron transitions.
That’s correct. Spectral lines are produced when electrons in atoms move between energy levels. When an electron drops to a lower energy level, it emits a photon of a specific energy corresponding to a specific wavelength of light, creating spectral lines in the emitted light spectrum.

The energy levels of the atom; from which when the atom is in an exited state and drops down in to a lower energy level it releases a quanta (packet) of energy which is of a certain frequency, this is then related to the colour of the light released.

For example the density, refractive index, state of matter, spectral properties etc.
A single atom of hydrogen cannot produce all four hydrogen spectral lines simultaneously because each spectral line corresponds to a specific energy transition within the atom's electron configuration. Due to the laws of quantum mechanics, an atom can only emit or absorb energy in discrete amounts, leading to the emission of specific spectral lines corresponding to specific energy transitions.
