Two beams of light shine on a white screen where one beam shines through a pane of red glass and the other shines through a beam of green glass. What happens if the two panes of glass are placed .....?

No light will be produced.


How does sound proof glass work?

Sound proof glass is actually two panes of glass that have a vacuum between them. Since sound is a wave, it need a medium through which to travel. That's why astronauts can't talk to each other in space without the use of microphones. With no atter, sound can't be transmitted. So the vacuum between the panes of glass creates an area of nothingness where sound cannot be transmitted, and makes it soundproof.


S waves can only travel through?

sound waves can only travel through particles, which is why it is hard to hear through double glazing as there is a vacume between the two panes of glass. There are no particles in a vacume.


Why is there no friction when two glass pieces are kept together?

There is friction, but comparatively little unless the glass is very clean. Because the glass is not touching over the majority of its surface. Instead trapped air is between the two plates. This massively reduces the coefficient of effective friction. Normally, if glass is clean so that the surfaces can touch, they will "stick together" as they are so flat and friction is so high - ask anyone working with glazing glass - they try never to let two panes touch except at an edge.


How does Criss Angel walk through a metal door?

It was a metal gate - not a traditional door. There's a "trap door", or cutout, within the middle portion of the gate. You don't see it because it is on a narrow slide, like the two panes of glass in his "walking through a glass window" trick.

Why do some homes have two panes of glass separated by air?

Double glazing provides better insulation against heat loss, and lessens outside sound, than does windows with a single pane of glass.


Why windows in some homes have two panes of glass separated by a layer of air?

The outside pane of glass shields the inside against heat and cold, as the inside pane is a barrier from the inside. The air gap is used as a buffer between the two.


What are the two panes of dark glass on stands on either side of the presidential podium for?

They're TelePrompters.


How many windows does the TARDIS have?

Two windows on each side so that's eight. Each window has 6 panes of glass so that's 48 panes.


The air sealed between two panes of glass in some windows helps to?

It helps to insulate the window and help it it to hold the warmth or cold inside the building.


How does the double layered glass window help to conserve heat during winter?

There is a layer of dry gas (e.g. argon, nitrogen) between the two panes of glass that acts as insulation, preventing heat flow in either direction between the glass panes. One thing very important is that the gas fill between the panes must be dry, or condensation will form between the panes in winter!In industrial environmental testing temperature chambers this is taken to an extreme, with in some cases about a dozen panes of glass separated by either dry gas or vacuum to insulate the very high or very low internal temperature of the chamber from room temperature.


What is the process of triple glazing?

Triple glazing is much like double glazing, except for the fact that there are three panes of glass. First, you have two panes of glass, separated by a vacuum, and a decanter to remove any water vapour. This is then repeated for a third pane of glass, to reduce heat loss by convection and conduction.

What does the process of double glazing do?

Double glazing is the glazing process in which a window is formed by two panes of glass with a space between the panes. The space between the glass is usually several millimeters thick


Why do new windows have two panes of glass with space between?

In selecting the material for the windshields of automobiles what type of glass would you use propose a process that would shatterproof your selection?

Laminated glass is the best. As it breaks the plastic or vinyl between the two panes help the glass from flying around.
