Question:

Assertion (A): Rydberg constant varies with the mass number of a given element. 

Reason(R):  Reduced mass of the electron depends on the mass of the nucleus only.

Options:

Both A and R are correct and R is a correct explanation of A

Both A and R are correct and R is NOT a correct explanation of A

A is true but R is false

Both A and R are false

Correct Answer:

Both A and R are false

Explanation:

Rydberg constant is independent of mass number of the element. Reduced mass of the system depends on the masses of both the electron and the nucleus.
