A spectrum (plural spectra or spectrums) is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary, without steps, across a continuum. The word was first used scientifically in optics to describe the rainbow of colors in visible light after passing through a prism

Dear student
Spectra is the generally accepted plural form of the word spectrum.
Hence both are same words with no difference.
Hope it helps

Line spectrum and emission spectra are the types.
