Question

A thin single glass plate is transparent. If the number of such glass plates are arranged in the form of a stack, is the arrangement will transparent? Explain.

Answer 1

1. We are given a transparent thin glass plate.
2. Here, the keyword thin refers to the thickness of the plate being almost negligible.
3. When many thin glass plates are formed in form of a stack, it looks like a slab of some thickness.
4. We know that the glass slab is transparent but not as much as the thin glass plate.
5. Due to the thickness of the glass slab, the intensity of light coming out will be less than that of the thin glass plate.
6. But still, it is transparent.
