What type of spectrum can view for an individual element that is characteristics for that element?
When an electron returns to the ground state from a higher state, energy is released. If the energy is released in the form of light, what is the energy called?

You need to look up all about atomic emission spectroscopy.
Photons of light are released when electrons fall back to the ground state after excitation. The frequencies of these photons give rise to lines in the emission spectrum.

The emission spectrum is seen as the electrons fall back from the excited state to the ground state. It is photons of light that ar given off. It is a specific color of light that can be used to identify the elements, because it falls a certain distance or wavelength.

First one is either atomic adsorption or atomic emission.
And the energy is called light (no, I'm not being sarcastic).

Im not sure but i think it's flourecent light. that's how they make fire works.
