The spectra of the white light flare of June 4, 1980 observed with the Universal spectrograph at the Sacramento Peak Observatory, have been carefully analyzed with the interactive reduction procedure referred to in Paper I of this series. The spectra of the flare kernel (possibly the real footpoint of the flaring magnetic loop) have been divided into 6 different adjacent strips in order to determine the variation of emissions within the kernel itself. The authors obtain the absolute values of the continuum and line emission. The time evolution of the energy radiated in the optical range by the flare is also obtained and the total energy in the range 3600 - 5900 Å is estimated to be 1.35×1030erg between 225950 UT and 230447 UT.
