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.
Does infrared radiation pass through a vacuum?
Gamma rays are basically high-energy photons (light) and propagate in a vaccum with no problem. Light does not require a medium in order to propagate. Light waves are the only waves that we see propagating through a vacuum. (Although there are some exotic massless particles like gravity waves and gluon waves that we have never actually seen.) Obviously, any particle can propagate through a vacuum.
How does heat and light interact with clear or colorless materials?
Infrared light (the invisible light emitted from heat) doesn't pass through regular tempered glass like visible light, it might pass through other clear materials tho including some types of glass, it depends on the material.
Does a translucent material scatter light waves as the pass through it?
Translucent (sort of milky) materials scatter light in a random fashion as the light passes through them. There can be some scattering even in transparent materials (few materials are totally transparent!)
What waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic weaves can pass through a vacuum.

What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
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 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.
Does an opaque material scatter light waves as they pass through it?
Light waves do not pass through opaque materials. Light is absorbed or reflected by opaque things. To be sure there is some scattering, nothing is entirely absorbent.
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.
which band of em spectrum pass through the atmosphere most easily ex) visible, infrared, radio waves?
Radio waves are the type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through the atmosphere most easily. This is because they have the longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies of all types of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves can also pass through solid objects, which makes them useful for a variety of applications, such as broadcasting, communication, and remote sensing.
Shear waves will not pass through the?
Shear waves will not pass through the molten outer core of the Earth.
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
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.
