Is a thick piece of glass a better insulator instead of two thin pieces of glass with air in the middle?
Yes, a thick piece of glass is a better insulator than two thin pieces of glass with air in the middle. This is because heat transfer is reduced as the thickness of the insulating material increases, creating a greater barrier to heat flow.
How long does it take light incident perpendicular to the glass to pass through this 8.7 cm thick sandwich?
Light takes approximately 29 microseconds to pass through 8.7 cm of glass when incident perpendicular to the surface. This time is calculated based on the speed of light in glass, which is about 0.67 times the speed of light in a vacuum.
We have a 3/8" thick glass coffee table top which we want to shorten. We are told if the glass is tempered- no can do. True any way to tell if a piece of glassis tempered?
You can not cut tempered glass because once a piece is broken the whole glass shatters. Tempered glass is safer because it breaks into tiny pieces rather than sharp edges like regular glass. The only way to tell if a glass is tempered is to break the glass or use a polarizer to detect stress waves. You will see stress waves in tempered glass verses regular glass. Hope this helps.
What objects block light?
Objects such as walls, doors, and curtains can block light, while transparent or translucent objects like glass or plastic allow light to pass through. Light is also blocked by opaque objects that are thick enough to prevent light from passing through, such as metal sheets or concrete walls.
How much 1 sq meter of 5 mm thick glass weight?
The weight of 1 square meter of 5mm thick glass can vary depending on the type of glass. On average, 5mm float glass weighs approximately 10.5 kg per square meter. However, the weight may differ for other types of glass such as tempered or laminated glass.
Why does letters of newspaper seem raised when looked through thick glass?
When you look at letters of a newspaper through thick glass, the phenomenon is known as "magnification." The glass acts as a lens, focusing and slightly enlarging the image of the text on the newspaper, making it appear raised. This effect is due to the bending of light rays as they pass through the glass.
Is a thick piece of glass a better insulator instead of two thin pieces of glass with air in the middle?
Yes, a thick piece of glass is a better insulator than two thin pieces of glass with air in the middle. This is because heat transfer is reduced as the thickness of the insulating material increases, creating a greater barrier to heat flow.
Why is a bulb made of thin glass?
because if its thick the light would be blocked.
Does thick glass make thick rainbows with prisms?
No, it doesn't matter about the thickness of the glass, it doesn't affect the angle of incidence where the light hits the glass from the air - and this refraction of the light here is what spreads out the constituent wavelengths that make up white light to make a rainbow. The intensity can only be controlled by makeing the light stronger of the room darker.
Can light travel through plastic or glass?
Yes it can. Unless the plastic and/or glass is too thick. Some types of glass and plastics make it harder for light to go through. ----------- The question is: Can light pass througth plastic or glass? The answer has to be either "both" or "glass", instead simply saying "yes"

How thick is 10 mm glass?
It is 10 mm thick.
Is thick glass good for a bong or not?
there is no difference between a thick glass bong and a thin glass bong except i guess the thing breakes easier
What is concave lenss?
concave lense is a piece of smooth glass that is thick from the edges and thin from centre and is used to diverge light rays.
How thick is the glass typically used in picture frames?
The glass typically used in picture frames is about 2mm to 3mm thick.
How thick is the glass in SeaWorld?
It varies from 2-75 inches thick.
Why does a prism cause white light to seperate into the colors of the spectrum?
Light bends in glass dependent on its thickness. Blue comes from the thin part and red from the thick part of a prism.
