The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Lanthanides have narrow absorption bands in the UV-visible region of the spectrum. This is because the f orbitals are shielded effectively by the outer electrons, so the electronic transitions within the \(f\) orbitals are less affected by the external environment (ligands or other ions). This shielding leads to narrow and well-defined absorption bands. The transitions responsible for these absorptions involve \(f\) orbitals.

- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
