Through what materials do infrared waves pass?
glass,water,air,photographic films,
Can infrared heat seeking technology see through a mattress?
Infrared radiation does not even pass through a sheet. However, anything that is in contact with a heat source will absorb some of the heat via conduction, and the absorbed heat may eventually be visible through an infrared viewer.
How is heat transferred through a vacuum?
Only by radiation. Infrared waves waves don't require a material medium to pass through. Heat energy is transmitted even through vacuum in the form of infrared waves. We get heat energy from sun in this way.
Transfer of energy from the sun to earth's surface?
That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.That is transferred mainly through visible and infrared light.
What can infrared travel through?
Infrared radiation can only travel through empty space or transparent objects

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.

Why does earths atmostsphere have the ability to block outgoing long wave infrared radiation after allowing incoming short waves pass through?
The earth's atmosphere/plasma acts as a reflector for long wave infrared radiation.
What can infrared travel through?
Infrared radiation can only travel through empty space or transparent objects
What does Infrared Penetrate?
Infrared penetrates through dust, smoke and plastic.
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.
Does the acrylic has the same property as glass letting pass through the infrared rays but not the ultra violet rays?
In short, your initial assumptions are flawed. Every different chemical compound will allow light of some wavelengths to pass through, and will absorb some other wavelengths. In the case of glass and many acrylic polymers, they both appear to be clear because most of the light in the visible spectrum passes through. It is not generally true that glass allows infrared light to pass through, nor is it generally true that acrylic polymers will allow ultraviolet light to pass through. The infrared light absorbed by both acrylic and glass heats up the material by causing bending, stretching, and twisting of mmolecular bonds. The ultraviolet light absorbed by these materials generally causes ionization.

What forms of electromagnetic energy can transmit through glass?
Some forms of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through glass are x-rays,gamma rays,ordinary light,microwaves,infrared and radio waves.
