Question
Building contractors often install double-glazed windows to prevent thermal energy from entering or exiting a building. In addition to being effective insulators, such windows present interesting optical effects. In the figure, a double-glazed window consists of two identical panes of glass (ng = 1.46), each yg = 52.0 mm thick, separated by an air gap of ya = 41.6 mm. Use na = 1.00 for the index of refraction of air. If light incident on the glass makes an angle of 40.00 degrees with respect to the glass, find the shift in path as the light enters the room
