In molecules, there are bonds. When they are exposed to infra-red radiation, different bonds absorb the infra-red radiation at different wavelengths. In the observed spectrum, there are "bond stretches", where the observed intensity of certain wavelengths drops due to the absorption. By comparing these "stretches" with a data-booklet, you can see which bonds the molecules have. This is called Infra-red Spectroscopy.
Will Young invented the Infra Red Waves in 1943
Well,infrared when you split it up means below red. infra, meaning below and then you add red
The two ligh energy waves that you can't see are ultra-violet (UV), and infra-red (IR). Ultra-violet light waves are measured at 380nm and below, infra-red light waves are 750nm and above. Normal light that you can see resides between these two regions.
Infra-red simply means less than red (referring to its place in the spectrum) and it is a wavelength that we cannot see. Similarly, ultra-violet means greater than violet and it is at the other end of the light spectrum, again of a wavelength that we cannot see. There are a lot of wavelengths of electro-magnetic radiation (as these are called) that we cannot see, radio waves being some of them.

It allows them to hunt in the dark
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.

All snakes can see Infared, its used for hunting.
The night vision of domestic video cameras work by infra red. All video cameras, whether using CCD or vidicon tubes, are sensitive to the invisible spectrum of infra red. This feature is used on domestic cameras by using a high power, infra red emitting LED, on the front of the camera, to act as a floodlight. No one can see it, but the camera can. When switching it on, it also increases the sensitivity of the CCD and as a result switches to black and white mode. The infra red floodlight, lights up the subject, at close range and reflects back for the camera to see. The infra red capabilities of a digital camera can be checked yourself. Look at the front of an infra red remote control and push a button. You won't see anything. Now use your digital camera or phone camera. Point the remote control at the camera and press a button. You will now see the infra red LED on the remote flash white!

Infra red radiations are invisible to our vision. Only red to violet are visible. But when the object emitting infra red radiations is in a dark place, then the object too cannot be seen.
