Use the equation log P=-kd, which gives the percent P, as a decimal, of light passing through a substance of thickness d, in meters. 

The constant k for a piece of blue stained glass is 20. What percent of light will pass through a piece of this glass that is 0.005 meters thick?

Assuming the incidence is 90 degrees and there is no reflection from either surface of glass:

P=kd = 20(.005)=0.1  or 10 percent
