As you may have learned when studying the properties of thermal energy, building contractors often install double-glazed windows to prevent thermal energy ("heat") from entering/exiting the building. Although effective as insulators, such windows present interesting optical effects. In the figure, a double-glazed window comprises two identical panes of glass (ng = 1.46) separated by an air gap. If the light encounters the glass at an angle of 40.00? with respect to the glass, find the shift in path AK as the light enters the room. (Use na = 1.00)
