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 = 1.40) separated by an air gap. If the light encounters the glass at an angle of 40.00

Expert Solution

Note that from Snell's law,

n1sin(t1) = n2sin(t2)

where

n1 = index of refraction of first medium =    1
t1 = angle of incidence =    40   degrees
n2 = index of refraction of second medium =    1.4
t2 = angle of refraction

Thus,

t2 =    27.33124066   degrees

Thus, the total shift is

x = 2 * 42.0 mm / sin (27.331) * [sin (40 - 27.331)]

x = 8.46 mm [ANSWER]

In a study of the thermal inertial properties of aerated concrete used as building material, average interior temperatures were investigated. These temperatures are known to have an approximately normal distribution. The claim is the average interior temperature is 22.5 degrees. A consumer advocate believes this temperature is in fact less than 22.5 degreess. To this end, he collects a sample of 15 measurements and finds the average temperature of the sample to be 20.9 degrees with standard deviation of 3.5...

You have two properties to refinance. Property A is an office building that generates $325,000 in NOI and is worth $5,000,000. Property B is a warehouse that generates $425,000 in NOI and is worth $7,000,000. You are approaching a lender to see what can be offered on both. On the Office building, the loan amount will be the lesser of a LTV of 75% or a 1.30X DSCR, 4.00% fixed, and 25-year schedule. On the Warehouse building, the loan amount...
