Do photons in the form of visible light actually pass through ordinary window glass?
I ask because window glass is assumed to be opaque to photons in the form of infrared energy. The IR photons are accepted on one side of the glass, conduct through the body of the glass in the form of heat and [presumably] new photons are emitted from the other side.
Are the very photons on the "out" side of the glass the exact same ones we see as visible light on the "in" side?
