Lightning occurs within the clouds, between clouds, or between the cloud and the ground. The discharge of electricity built up when the positive and the negative charges collide, causes lightning. The distribution of electric charge in the cloud also depends on the distribution of water and the particles of ice in the cloud. To understand the strength of a lightning, we can say that an average lightning could be used for 3 months to light up a 100 watts bulb.
The air that ascends and descends in the atmosphere plays a role in the separation of the electric charges as positive and negative. Chance so getting hit by lightning is 1 in 600 thousand. This chance is further reduced if you follow the safety rules. It is only during the summer that most of the lightning hits take place because it is in this period the rapid heating and cooling of air takes place. It is estimated that around 100 thousand thunderstorms occur every year in USA.

You would have seen overlapping elements in roofs. These are roof shingles. For better water proof results double layers are also used. Shingles can be made of different materials. Different materials give different look to your roof. The materials could be asphalt, ceramic, asbestos cement, slate, and wood. Some of these are not fire proof and hence fiberglass based asphalt shingles are increasingly used in the United States.
Boards of size 1 x 6 inches are used in the roof and the wooden shingles are nailed to these boards. It is done so, so that there is air circulation below the wooden shingles and this increases the durability and the shingles may not become soggy. Shingles can also be fixed on existing roof materials if any. Depending on the climate of your locality the durability of the shingles may vary. Look for any damaged shingles after a rough weather and fix it immediately.

You would have seen a lot of monitors and televisions that are very flat and slim and that consume very less power. The clarity in these monitors would also be good they are cool to our eyes too. Such monitors are called the LCD monitors that they use the LCD technology in them. The LCD monitors have two transparent panels through which light waves are only passed in a single place.
These two transparent panels are polarized at 90 degrees so that the light that passes through them does not escape through the other. That is why they are polarized at 90 degrees. The panel initially appears dark. One of the segments of liquid crystal is applied with electricity and when the electricity is applied the crystals line up and the light waves are turned 90 degrees. We can say that the light wave is twisted in these panels and now it is visible on the other side.
If you compare the images that you see in LCD, they are actually not that much clear as you see in CRT monitors. Viewing angle will affect what you see in the LCD monitors.
