Yes
Yes, water can absorb light, particularly in the near-infrared and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This absorption of light energy can lead to warming of the water molecules and water bodies.
No, visible light and infrared light do not pass through the same types of materials. Visible light can pass through materials like glass and water, while infrared light can pass through materials like plastic and some fabrics.
Infrared light is not blocked by Earth's atmosphere in the same way that visible light is. Instead, it is partially absorbed and emitted by gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. This is why infrared telescopes are often placed on high mountaintops or launched into space to avoid interference from these gases.
red and violet light. it reflects green light. Red and violet are on the outside of the ROYGBIV white light spectrum. so its actually more about the wavelength of the light absorption rather than color
In water, visible light wavelengths are absorbed quickly, with red light being absorbed first and blue light penetrating the deepest. Beyond visible light, infrared light can penetrate even deeper into water. Ultraviolet light is largely absorbed by water and does not penetrate deeply.

No. Mixing the two will not produce light.

It's light enough to float on water
Certain materials, such as dark-colored objects and gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor, absorb infrared light. When these materials absorb infrared light, they convert it into heat energy, which can warm up their surroundings. This can lead to an increase in temperature in the immediate area, affecting the overall thermal balance of the environment.
Sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, for transmission. Light, radio, and infrared waves can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium for transmission.
An infrared thermometer works on water by measuring the infrared radiation emitted by the water's surface. Water absorbs and emits infrared radiation, allowing the thermometer to detect the temperature without making direct contact with the water.
Infrared thermometers work on water by measuring the temperature of the water based on the infrared radiation it emits. Water absorbs and emits infrared radiation, allowing the thermometer to accurately measure its temperature without direct contact.
Microwaves are wavelengths of light that are shorter than radio waves, but longer than infrared light waves. The wavelength range is 1 meter to 1mm. One particular wavelength is optimum for being absorbed by water, and this is what "microwave ovens" are tuned to produce. This is 2.45 GHz, which is about 12.2cm wavelength.
