You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The first 1-cm of glass thickness allows \"80%2F100=8%2F5=0.8\" of the light to filter through.
\n" ); document.write( "The next 1-cm of glass thickness allows \"80%2F100=8%2F5=0.8\" of the remaining light to filter through.
\n" ); document.write( "The fraction that filter through the 2-cm thickness is
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2F5%29%284%2F5%29=%284%2F5%29%5E2=16%2F25=64%2F100=0.64\" .
\n" ); document.write( "So 64% of the light will filter through.
