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)?
To reduce the loss of light when reflected from the glass surface, the latter is covered with a thin layer of a substance, the refractive index of which is n '= sqrt (n), where n is the refractive index of the glass. At what minimum thickness d (min) of this layer will the reflectivity of glass in the normal direction be minimal for light with a wavelength λ?
