The correct match for column A with column B is :
Column AColumn B
(a) f→f transition(i) $\mathrm{Tb}^{3+}$
(b) ${ }^{5} \mathrm{D}_{0} \rightarrow{ }^{7} \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{n}}$ emission(ii) $\mathrm{Lu}^{3+}$
(c) ${ }^{5} \mathrm{D}_{4} \rightarrow{ }^{7} \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{n}}$ emission(iii) $\mathrm{Sm}^{3+}$
(d)Overlapping J levels(iv) $\mathrm{Eu}^{3+}$
(a)(a) - (iv), (b) - (i), (c)-(ii), (d) - (iii)
(b)(a) - (ii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (iii), (d) - (i)
(c)(a) - (ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)
(d)(a)- (i), (b)- (iii), (c)-(ii), (d) - (iv)
Answer
Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence medium
Explanation
Lu³⁺ (f¹⁴) has no f→f transitions. ⁵D₀→⁷F_J emission is from Eu³⁺ and ⁵D₄→⁷F_J from Tb³⁺. Sm³⁺ has overlapping, closely spaced J levels (c).
