Detailed Solution

As the concentration of the sodium stearate increases beyond the CMC, stearate ions come close together and form micelles. This soon causes the concentration of the current carrier anions to decreases. This is reflected by the very sharp change in λm at CMC, followed by greater rate of decrease of λm withC.
