What does Infrared Penetrate?
Infrared penetrates through dust, smoke and plastic.
How hot is infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation is sometimes referred to as thermal radiation. The temperature of infrared radiation varies from object to object. All objects radiate infrared, even objects at room temperature and frozen objects.
Does infrared radiation penetrate through smoke?
Yes, long-wave infrared will penetrate even very dense smoke. That's why thermal imagers are effective in firefighting. For instance, you can feel the heat (infrared spectrum) through smoke, but you cannot usually see through smoke (visible spectrum).
Does infrared pick up heat?
Yes, infrared radiation can detect heat. Infrared sensors are designed to detect and measure the infrared radiation emitted by objects, including heat emitted by living organisms or warm objects.
Do hotter objects emit more infrared radiation?
True , because the warmer objects give off more infrared radiation than cooler objects ..

Why can radio waves pass through walls but light cannot?
Radio waves are longer on the electromagnetic spectrum and can penetrate objects because they are less dense. Visible light and infrared light are shorter and therefore too dense to pass through objects.
Can satellite images penetrate concrete walls?
Photographs can't... infrared is a possibility.

What instrument can penetrate the gas and dust of the universe?
Infrared, radio and x-ray telescopes.
Do hotter objects emit more infrared radiation?
True , because the warmer objects give off more infrared radiation than cooler objects ..
What wireless technology has a range limited to 3 feet and cannot penetrate ceilings and walls?
infrared
What can infrared travel through?
Infrared radiation can only travel through empty space or transparent objects
Do hot objects absorb infrared radiation?
All objects emit (give out) and absorb (take in) thermal radiation, which is also called infrared radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation it emits. However; the hotter an object, the faster it will emit infrared radiation. Even though hotter objects can absorb infrared radiation, they will continue to emit infrared radiation much faster than they absorb it from any colder objects / sources around them, until an equilibrium is achieved with the objects surroundings i.e. it is always an antagonistic relationship with the objects surroundings and the surroundings with the object.
Is infrared radiation only emitted from the center of hot solid objects?
No. While most infrared radiation is from the center of hot solid objects, some of it is not. The sun is plasma (not solid) and it emits infrared radiation. Also, infrared radiation can be emitted by the friction in between objects
