Typical Results for Refractive Index Determination of Glass
Table 2. Index of Refraction for Specific Glasses; Glass Index of Refraction; Windshield glass 1: 1.518: Windshield glass 2: 1.520: Headlight glass from Toyota Celica: 1.478: Headlight glass from Chevrolet Eurosport: 1.488
This means as windshield angles pass 45 degrees, more light is reflected and less passes through. ... when the glass is clean.
