Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
The peaks in the UV-Vis spectrum of d3 complexes arise from d-d electronic transitions. These transitions occur when an electron in a lower-energy d orbital absorbs a photon and is excited to a higher-energy d orbital. The specific wavelengths absorbed depend on the energy difference between the d orbitals, which is influenced by factors like the nature of the ligands and the geometry of the complex.
