Yes, infrared radiation can change the temperature of glass. Heat (thermal) energy moves by conduction (touching), convection (hot fluids moving around cooler objects or vice versa), and by radiation. Let's look more closely.
Infrared radiation is exchanged by all objects all the time. Compared to some kind of background temperature, cooler objects tend to hang on to more of the thermal energy arriving by infrared radiation while warmer objects tend to radiate more of that energy. A cooler glass sitting on a counter in a warm room will eventually collect thermal energy (and probably by both convection and radiation) until it warms to room temperature. Likewise a hot glass will cool to room temperature by the same method.

Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
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.
Why glass breaks due to temperature change?
Glass isn't really a solid - it's a 'super-cooled liquid' - sudden temperature change causes 'thermal shock' where the outer surface expands or contracts quicker than the rest of the glass - causing it to break.
What methods do thermometers utilized in measuring temperature?
A thermometer can use any of several methods to register temperature. These include mercury; liquid-in-glass; electronic with digital display; infrared or tympanic; and disposable dot matrix
What is the Fate of the in infrared light incident on glass?
Typically, the IR energy is absorbed by the glass as heat.
Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
How does the thermometer used to measure air temperature differ from the thermometer used to take your temperature?
A thermometer used to measure air temperature uses a glass tube filled with a liquid either alcohol or mercury. When the temperature increases the particles of liquid expand, filling the glass tub. Thermometers that are used to measure you body temperature uses infrared sensors.
Is it possible to change the temperature of a glass of water by stirring the water even though the glass is insulated from its surroundings?
no
What makes a liquid-in-glass thermometer sensitive to a small change of temperature?
a bulb with a thin glass wall
Where can one purchase an infrared temperature gun?
Infrared temperature guns can be purchased in person at Walmart, Home Depot, Menards or Lowe's. The infrared temperature guns can also be purchased online at Amazon or eBay.
Can infrared radiation pass through glass windows?
That depends, short wave infrared radiation can travel through glass (hence the laser pointers and your TV remotes), but longer infrared waves get reflected. This is due to the design of glass so that we can see through it but the infrared heat radiation does not leave, thus improving efficiency.
Is a hot glass cracking when placed in cold water a physical change?
it is a physical change because the state of the glass does not change.it cracks because of the rapid change of temperature

Is hot glass cracking when placed in cold water a chemical or physical change?
Physical. The glass expands or contracts depending on temperature, when you put a hot glass into cold water part of the glass cools and contracts while some of it is still in it's hot, expanded state.

How do you block infrared detectors?
Glass is known to completely block infrared waves from a detector. Aluminium foil no answer.
