Assertion : The specific charge of positive rays is not constant.
Reason : The mass of ions varies with speed.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but the reason is false.

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The specific charge `(e//m)` of the positive rays is not universal constant because these rays may consist of ions of different elements.
