Briefly explain the effect of isotopic substitution in the rotational spectrum of diatomic molecules with appropriate figures. Calculate the atomic mass of 13C given that first rotational absorption for 12C¹0 16 and 13C O is observed at 3.84235cm and 3.67337cm respectively. Assume same bond length and mass of oxygen to be 15.9994 & carbon- 12 to be 12.000amu.
