What effect do glass panels have on the infrared photons?

Glass panels are transparent to infrared photons, allowing them to pass through with little absorption. However, glass panels can reflect or refract infrared photons depending on the type of glass and its thickness. Generally, glass panels are used in infrared applications to protect and maintain a controlled environment while allowing infrared radiation to pass through.

Do footprint last on earth for more than 30 years?

Depending on the environment, it may be possible for a footprint to last more than 30 years. If an environment is exposed to consistent changes and elements, such as rain, wind, etc., then it is just about impossible for a footprint to last that long. In an environment where virtually no elements are present, in a cave for instance, then it could be possible for a footprint to last that long.
