Infrared (IR) light, visible light and X-rays are all electromagnetic radiation, and the only difference is in the frequency (or wavelength) of the energy. They are listed here in the question in order of lower to higher frequency, and that means longer to shorter wavelength.

How do ultraviolet rays react differently than infrared waves when passing through glass?

Ultraviolet rays are absorbed by glass, while infrared waves can pass through it with minimal absorption. Ultraviolet rays have higher energy and interact more strongly with the glass molecules, causing them to be absorbed and blocked effectively. In contrast, infrared waves have lower energy and are able to penetrate glass with little obstruction.
