What is the Fate of the in infrared light incident on glass?
Typically, the IR energy is absorbed by the glass as heat.
What do infrared photons do when they hit glass?
When they're incident on glass, infrared photons do the same things that photons of otherwavelengths 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 photonsand the chemical composition of the glass.
What is the definition of passive solar heating?
Glass windows provide passive solar heating for buildings. Sunlight passes through the glass and is absorbed by surfaces in the building. It is transferred into heat energy, which is emitted as infrared radiation. This is reflected back into the building by the glass.
Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
How does infrared light reflect off objects?
Infrared radiation or light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and acts the same as visible light does.Infrared can be absorbed and reflected by objects much the same way as visible light. More on Infrared:Some black objects that absorb visible light radiation may reflect infrared.Much of the absorbed visible light energy is re-emitted as infrared up to many hours later.There are subcategories of infrared, two common ones are near-infrared and far-infrared. Near being closer to visible light.

One reason that infrared wavelengths are difficult to study is that?
most infrared wavelengths are absorbed by Earth's atmosphere
Are infrared reys absorbed by the ozone layer and protects the earth?
No, they are not. UV rays are absorbed by the ozone layer.
Are infrared rays absorbed by the ozone layer which protects the earth?
Far infrared rays are, corresponding to lower temperatures, but not near infrared which corresponds to warmer temps.
Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
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.
When light goes into a glass block most is transmitted some does not what happens to it?
Because some rays are reflected or absorbed by the material.
What activity could you do to find out how infrared waves are absorbed by other colours?
l
How do you block infrared detectors?
Glass is known to completely block infrared waves from a detector. Aluminium foil no answer.
Glass is transparent to visible light but not to?
Ultraviolet and Infrared.
