Explain the effect of appreciation of domestic currency on imports. |
|
Answer» Appreciation of domestic currency means a rise in the price of domestic currency (say, rupee) in terms of a foreign currency (say, $). Now, one rupee can be exchanged for more $, i.e., with the same amount of money, more goods can be purchased from the USA. It leads to increase in imports from the USA as American goods will become relatively cheaper. |
|
| 7005. |
Explain the effect of appreciation of domestic currency on imports. |
|
Answer» Appreciation of domestic currency means lower price of foreign currency in terms of domestic currency. This increases the price of domestic goods for foreign buyers. This means imports become cheaper. As a result the demand for imports may rise. Example: 1$ = 60 Rs is changed to 1$ = 55 Rs. It is appreciation of domestic currency & now importing 1 dollar good has become cheaper so import will increase. |

Define absolute refractive index. Absolute refractive indices of medium ‘A’ and medium ‘B’ are and ‘nb’ respectively, what is the refractive index of medium ‘B’ with respect to medium ‘A’? How does the velocity of light vary with change in the optical density of the media? |
|
Answer» Absolute refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to the velocity of light in the medium. If c is the velocity of light in vacuum and v in the medium, then: n = c/v Absolute refractive index = Speed of light in vacuum /Speed of light in medium According to question, For B, Dividing (ii) by (i), nb /na=Speed of light in medium A/Speed of light in medium B Now, refractive index of medium 'B' with respect to medium 'A=Speed of light in medium A/Speed of light in medium B = nb/na = b/a Optical density of a medium is the measure of its transmittance for a radiation of particular wavelength. Higher is the value of optical density, lower is transmittance. it is expressed as log10 (1/T), where T is the transmittance in percentage (T = I/10). And also a higher value of refractive index means higher optical density. This means that light travels slower, in a medium with high optical density. Speed of light slows down in a optically denser because light interacts with the matter inside the denser medium. |
