Infrared belongs to the invisible colors and not to sound. But there is infrasound and ultrasound. Infrasound is sound with a frequency too low to be heard by the human ear. The study of such sound waves is sometimes referred to as infrasonics, covering sounds beneath the lowest limits of human hearing (20 hertz) down to 0.001 hertz. This frequency range is utilized by seismographs for monitoring earthquakes. Infrasound is characterized by an ability to cover long distances and get around obstacles with little dissipation. Ultrasound is cyclic sound pressure with a frequency greater than the upper limit of human hearing. Although this limit varies from person to person, it is approximately 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz) in healthy, young adults and thus, 20 kHz serves as a useful lower limit in describing ultrasound.

Are infrared waves sound waves?
No; sound is a mechanical wave, infrared is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
How does the human brain perceive infrared sound wave reflections from stationary metal objects?
The term "infrared" refers to electromagnetic waves, not to sound waves.
Which wave requires a medium for transmission light radio infrared or sound?
Sound.
What is the difference between infrared and infrasonic?
Infrared is a type of electromagnetic wave (invisible light), while infrasonic is a type of sound which have frequencies less than the audible range (20 Hz -20kHz).
Do infrared rays follow the law of reflection?
Yes. All electromagnetic waves do. In fact, all sound waves do too.

What does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum x-ray or sound or infrared ray or radio wave?
sound does not belong to the list.
What afre not transveres wave radio waves infrared wave sound wave visible light?
Sound isn't. The others are.
What is the difference between infrared and infrasonic?
Infrared is a type of electromagnetic wave (invisible light), while infrasonic is a type of sound which have frequencies less than the audible range (20 Hz -20kHz).
What energy transformations in a remote control?
Kinetic energy to electrical energy to infrared energy.
Do infrared rays follow the law of reflection?
Yes. All electromagnetic waves do. In fact, all sound waves do too.
How are infrared waves and infrared radiation related?
infrared waves and infrared radiation both are same
Can you hear the sound from your in car DVD system through the radio speakers as well as the infrared headphones?
no because it run to av1 and av2
What is the common name for infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation, infrared, heat radiation.
What kind of sound is made by low frequency vibrations?
Low frequency sound is usually called "infrasound" analagous to the term "infrared" for light of less than visible wavelengths. Subsonic has also been used.
