Major Climatic Regions of the world
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.

Weather Disturbances
Weather is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy.

Precipitation
Precipitation occurs when a portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapour, so that the water condenses and "precipitates".

Earth’s heat budget and its radiation balance
Earth's heat-budget or Earth's radiation balance refers to the net flow of energy into Earth in the form of shortwave radiation and the outgoing infrared long-wave radiation into space.

Dielectric Constant and Momentum
The dielectric constant is the relative permittivity of a dielectric material. It is an important parameter in characterizing capacitors. Momentum is a corner stone concept in Physics. It is a conserved quantity.

Refractive Index: Lenses
Thinner, lighter high-index lenses are especially recommended if you have a strong eyeglass prescription for nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.

Refraction and Reflectivity
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.

Refractive Index: Phase Speed
The refractive index can be defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum and the phase speed of light in a material.
