IR rays are just electromagnetic rays so the properties of infrared rays resemble to those of EM waves which can be easily blocked by thick materials. Lead is commonly used to block them.

How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
infrared waves and infrared radiation both are same
How does the human brain perceive infrared sound wave reflections from stationary metal objects?
The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
Are infrared waves are an example for longitudinal wave?
No, infrared is a type of electromagnetic waves, and those are transverse waves.
Can the radio waves be easily blocked?
Yes, creating a Faraday cage (essentially a container covered with metal mesh), you can block all radio waves. The spacing of the mesh or grid will determine the frequencies that are blocked.
Are infrared waves longitudinal?
No. Infrared is a type of electromagnetic waves, and therefore, a transverse wave.
Are infrared light waves easily blocked?
Infrared light can be blocked by the same opaque material that can block any other color light. Just because we can't see it doesn't give it any special penetrating powers.
Are x-ray waves easily blocked or can they pass through objects?
They can easily go through objects

What waves are used in an Iris scanner?
Infrared waves. Infrared waves are also used in retina scans.

Which waves are transmitted by a television remote control device?
They most use infa red but they use wireless for the more recent technology.
Are infrared waves sound waves?
No; sound is a mechanical wave, infrared is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?
Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.
Does UV rays have longer wavelength than infrared?
UV waves are shorter than infrared waves.
