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.

Is Andersen windows Smart sun glass actually Cardinal 366 glass?
I'm thinking yes. We bought Eagle windows, an Andersen product, with SmartSun and the order from the company came through listing "SmartSun (366)" so that's what I'm coming up with - that they are the same...
How is glass used in building construction?
windows
Is optical fiber ihollow or not?
The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.
Where is earthing provided in glass line reactor?
Through thermowel tip ( made up of tantalum ), earthing is provided to Glass lined reactor.
Is glass more soundproof or wood?
glass
Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation
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.
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.
Can heat in the form of radiation travel through a window with double glazing?
Heat transfer through double glazed windows by way of radiation barely changes. Trapped air in the gap between the inner glass pane and the outer glass pane prevents heat loss and acts as an insulator.
What element focuses infrared radiation?
nothing Anything that is transparent will have a refractive index. Glass is transparent to visible light and has a refractive index with it. Having these combined properties lets you make a lens for visible light out of glass. Now glass is transparent to IR radiation so any glass lens would focus IR radiation.
What surfaces are slow to emit infrared radiation?
Glass, Chrome
Does infrared change the temperature of glass?
Yes, infrared radiation can change the temperature of glass. Heat (thermal) energy moves by conduction (touching), convection (hot fluids moving around cooler objects or vice versa), and by radiation. Let's look more closely. Infrared radiation is exchanged by all objects all the time. Compared to some kind of background temperature, cooler objects tend to hang on to more of the thermal energy arriving by infrared radiation while warmer objects tend to radiate more of that energy. A cooler glass sitting on a counter in a warm room will eventually collect thermal energy (and probably by both convection and radiation) until it warms to room temperature. Likewise a hot glass will cool to room temperature by the same method.
What is the process where heat is transferred through glass?
radiation
Why is Venus a greenhouse planet?
Less than a quarter of the sunlight falling on venus reaches the surface. Light that gets through the clouds warms the ground which, in turn, releases the heat in the form of infrared radiation. Like glass trapping heat in a green house, the atmosphere traps the infrared radiation, so the temperature on Venus builds up and is always very hot
Through what materials do infrared waves pass?
glass,water,air,photographic films,
Why is glass used for windows?
Glass is see through and is better quality than plastic. Plastic is not as see through as glass anyway.
If the windows are rolled up on a newer vehicle can I still get harmful rays from the sun while in the vehicle.?
The safety glass used in the manufacture of windshields and car windows prevents almost all UV radiation from reaching through the glass to the cars occupants. So no, you can't really get "harmful" rays through glass, though technically UV radiation is only harmfull if you spend too much time in the sun, and too little can result in a lack of Vitamin D which is also bad for your health.
