Chapter 28, Problem 41RCQ
No glass is perfectly transparent. Mainly because of reflections, about 92% of light passes through an average sheet of clear windowpane. The 8% loss is not noticed through a single sheet, hut through several sheets, the loss is apparent. How much light is transmitted by a double-paned window (one with two sheets of glass)?

No glass is perfectly transparent. Mainly because of reflections, about 92% of light passes through an average sheet of clear windowpane. The 8% loss is not noticed through a single sheet, but through several sheets, the loss is apparent. How much light is transmitted by a double-paned window (one with two sheets of glass)?
In Figure, light is incident at angle 0,=40.1° on a boundary between two
transparent materials. Some of the light travels down through the next
three layers of transparent materials, while some of it reflects upward and
then escape into the air. If n;=1.3, n,= 1.4, n;=1.32, and ng= 1.45, what is
Air
