The world has several climatic zones but geographer defined the climatic region is based on maximum and minimum temperatures and the temperature range as well as the total and seasonal distribution of precipitation for better understanding. Find out the Major Climatic Regions of the world which is very useful for the preparation of competitive examinations like UPSC-prelims, SSC, State Services, NDA, CDS, and Railways etc.

The refractive index is retrieved from direct phase and amplitude measurements for transmission and reflection, which are all in excellent agreement with simulations. The reflection angle is equal to the incidence angle, and the amount of light that is reflected is determined by the reflectivity of the surface.
