Transition responsible for the peaks in the UV-spectrum
Accepted Answer
The peaks in a UV-Vis spectrum are caused by electronic transitions within the molecule. These transitions involve the promotion of an electron from a lower energy level (ground state) to a higher energy level (excited state) upon absorption of a specific wavelength of UV or visible light.
