IR
Infrared radiation or light is an invisible electromagnetic radiation that has a
longer wavelength than visible light and is detected most often by its heating
effect. Infrared describes the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with

wavelength to visible light and far infrared is closer to the microwave region of
the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has many technology and physics
applications.
