in the same way, but only the
light from some raindrops
reaches the observer's eye.
These raindrops are perceived
to constitute the rainbow. The

residual income; it is the resi-

However, pressure decreases
continuously with increasing
height due to.the reduction of
the mass of overlyingair. As a
general rule, a height change
of 10 m equals a pressure
change of about 1 mn. Pres-

quantity demanded changes
with a change in price.Agood's
price elasticity of demand is
largely determined by the
availability of substitute
goods. The more necessary a
, good is, the lower the price
elasticity ofdemand. If'mcorne
elasticity of demand of a com-
modity is less than I, it is a
necessity good. If the elastici-
ty of demand is greater than
I, it is a luxury good or a su-
perior good. n case of luxury

furniture, etc, demand rises
more than proportionate to a
change in income.
