can heat travel through glass?

Question

just wondering.

Answer 1

Radiant heat (like from the Sun or the coils of your electric stove) is nothing more or less than light...very long wavelength light...down in the infrared range of the light spectrum. And like any light, radiant heat goes through glass.

Convection heat, on the other hand, does not go through glass...or anything solid for that matter. Convection heat is just the heat carried by warm gases, like the heated air from your furnace.

And solids can carry heat as well. The pans you use to cook your bacon and eggs for breakfast carry the heat from the stove's heating coils and spread it out evenly along the bottom of the pans. Your pans are made of copper, aluminum, or other heat conducting metal.

Glass, on the other hand, is a lousy conductor of heat even though radiant heat passes right through it. This is why glass is often used as a heat insulator (like fiber glass).
