When they're incident on glass, infrared photons do the same things that photons of other
wavelengths do ... some are reflected, some are absorbed, and some are transmitted.
How many of the photons undergo each process depends on the energy of the photons
and the chemical composition of the glass.

never heard from again. The rest of it passes through the glass and continues on its way.

Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
What is the Fate of the in infrared light incident on glass?
Typically, the IR energy is absorbed by the glass as heat.
What has more electromagnetic energy infrared radiation or x-rays?
Each X-ray photon carries more energy than an infrared photon does. But it's still very easy to shine an infrared beam that has far more energy than an X-ray beam. Simply use an infrared source that radiates more photons than the X-ray source does.
Do photons of blue light have more or less energy than photons of red light?
Photons of Blue light have more energy than photons of red light. Ultraviolet have even more, x rays yet more, gamma rays still more, and some cosmic rays still a lot more. Infrared have less, and radio waves have less, and other waves have even less.
Through what materials do infrared waves pass?
glass,water,air,photographic films,
Do x ray radiation photons have more engery than infrared waves?
yes, x ray radiation photons have more energy than infrared waves
Do infrared photons or visible photons have longer wavelengths?
Visible radiation: 370-750 nm. Infrared radiation: 750 nm-300 μm These wavelenghts are not long.
Do plants grow better under infrared lights?
No, since there is insufficient energy in infrared photons to carry on photosynthesis.
In what form solar energy leaves the core of the sun?
visible and invisible light
Why are the photons that emerge from the Sun's surface visible-light photons and infrared-light photons rather than gamma-ray photons?
Photons do not come in different types like infared-photons etc. they are just the wavelength that the photons are at and nuclear fusion just happens to emit photons at a particular wavelength
Can infra red photon hit to chang direction of light?
An infrared photon hit will probably not change the direction of light. Light itself is made out of photons and typically does not travel in straight lines, except when used in lasers.
As a gas condenses to a liquid what does it do to the heat that was required to vaporize the liquid?
Radiates it (mainly as infrared photons).
What causes the biggest problem in detecting infrared photons from an astronomical object from the Earth?
Water vapor
Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
What type of energy is produced when a heated chemical glows?
Photons are emitted (light energy) and infrared energy.
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.
How do you block infrared detectors?
Glass is known to completely block infrared waves from a detector. Aluminium foil no answer.
