Consider a double-paned window consisting of two panes of glass, each with a thickness of 0.500 cm and an area of 0.725 m2, separated by a layer of air with a thickness of 1.75 cm. The temperature on one side of the window is 0.00 °C; the temperature on the other side is 20.0°C. In addition, note that the thermal
