Photons are not solid objects, they are packets of energy, which are also describable as waves, and if the pathway of two photons intersects, they will pass through each other, although in some cases there is interference, if the waves align in the right way. Interference will cause a pattern in which there are brighter than normal bands, where the waves coincide, and darker than normal bands, where the waves are opposed. However, in the case you describe, of infrared light and visible light, there won't be any interference pattern. When the frequencies differ, there is no alignment of the waves.

Does ultraviolet light have a lower frequency than visible light?
No, "infra" means below, "ultra" means above. Infra red light is below red and ultra violet is above violet light.
Which of the following can be determined from the frequency of a light wave?
If you know the frequency of a light wave, you can tell the wavelength, thecolor it'll appear to your eye, and the energy in each photon of the light.The energy of the wave ~APEX
Why is infra-red radiation rather than visible light used with optic fibers?
Infra-red has less energy the visible light, and so it takes less energy to create.
Is a red light photon a higher energy than a radio photon?
he duble hockey sticks no.
Why do photon of red light has a less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
The energy of a photon is correlated with its wave frequency - and gamma rays are by definition very high frequency photons compared to red light photons.
Can infra red photon hit to chang direction of light?
An infrared photon hit will probably not change the direction of light. Light itself is made out of photons and typically does not travel in straight lines, except when used in lasers.
Does ultraviolet light have a lower frequency than visible light?
No, "infra" means below, "ultra" means above. Infra red light is below red and ultra violet is above violet light.

Who invented infrared night light?
Nobody invented infra-red or infra-red lights as such. Infra-red is radiant heat and is a natural phenomenon and is emitted by essentially all light sources. Infra-red devices with no visible light emissions, are, in their simplest form, radiant heaters. What was invented were ways to use IR for night-vision - often called image intensifiers.
What part of light is heat?
Infra red part of light is responsible for heat.
Could an atom emit one photon of blue light after absorbing only one photon of red light?
No, it could not. A blue photon carries more energy than a red photon, since the blue photon's frequency is higher. That means one red photon wouldn't deliver enough energy to the atom to give it the energy to emit a blue photon.
Would radioactive isotopes be seen as infra red light?
no
What band of light is below the visibile spectrum?
Infra Red
Why is infra-red radiation rather than visible light used with optic fibers?
Infra-red has less energy the visible light, and so it takes less energy to create.

Why do you see a white spot on the camera-display when you make a photo of a remote-control?
Because remote controls use infra red light to communicate with the TV, stereo or what ever the remote is for. Infra red is a type of light we cannot see with our eyes, but cameras and video cameras turn infra red into visible light.
What wavelength does white light from the sun have?
Visable light, Infra red and uv rays.
