1.紅外線係咪等於熱?
No, infrared radiation is NOT the same as heat. Heat is a form of energy that exhibites on an object due to vibration of its molecules.
Infrared radiation is itself a form of electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than thos of visible light (i.e. wavelength longer than 700 nm)
When infrared radiation falls on an object, the radiation energy will be absorbed by moleucles of the object to increase their vibrational mootion. Thus the object gains heat.

2.紅外線可唔可以穿d物體?
The wavelengths of infrared spans over a wide range, from near infrared (wavelength close to 700 nm) to far infrared (wavelengths of oder of mm). Depending on the wavelengths of the infrared radiation, infrared could penetrate substances to different depths.
For example, near infrared radiation has wavelength near to red colour of the visible light and thus can penetrate glass as visible light does.
Far infrared radiation, because of its long wavelength, cannot penetrate glass and is even readily absorbed by the air.

3.紅外線撞到物體係咪會反射?跟唔跟laws of reflection?
The Law of Reflected, which is applicable to visible light, is also applicable to electromagnetic wave of different wavelengths.
However, be aware that waves of different wavelengths may show different effects in scattering and diffraction under the same situation
---------------------------------------------------------
4.很凍的物體會唔會釋於紅外線?
Yes, any object can emit infrared radiation as long as its temperature is above absolute zero (i.e. -274 degrees Celsius). This principle is given by Stefans Law of radiation.

5.As given in Q1, infrared radiation itself is NOT heat. It is only after an object absorbs infrared, it becomes hot. Also, any object could emit infrared radiation. In fact, heat exhange by radiation is due to the continuous absorption and emission of infrared radiation.

(Q5 contd ....) Hence, your statement is best re-written as:
有紅外線至會產生熱,有熱至會發出紅外線。
