Your question requires qualification. There is near-IR and far-IR which covers the wide range of wavelengths of IR. IR images are all about us, but our eyes cannot see them. In order to view them, some sort of image converter is required. The near IR band, just beyond what the eye can see, is called Near-IR. In this range, silicon diode detectors do a fairly good job of converting the image signal to an electrical signal. As is the case for a digital camera, an array of Near-IR signal diodes are used to detect the image, which is converted to an array of digital signals. These signals can then be converted to RGB signals, similar to those used for a computer monitor and then viewed. This is a very common method of producing IR image conversion for viewing.
There are also the Night Vision Goggles that are used to view infrared signals at night. The optical detection method is somewhat different, although similar in that a special IR detector is required.

What kind of surfaces will form images of objects?
What kind of surfaces will form images of objects?
What is the property of an optical instrument by virtue of which it can form separate images of two close objects?
Resolution. The higher the resolution, the greater capability of separating the images of two close objects at a certain distance away from the objects.
What is an instrument that uses a combination of lenses to produce enlarged images of tiny objects?
An instrument that uses a combination of lenses to produce enlarged images of tiny objects is a microscope.
If images of distant objects are typically focused at a point in front of the retina?
The person will be nearsighted.
What does a magnifying glass do to objects?
Magnifing glass does nothing to the objects but they prepare images of objects that are larzer than objects. U can take example of distorting mirror when mirror produce image it dont do any distortion to the objects but the image produced is distorted
What instrument can see images of objects with the help of radiation?
CT scanners are an example.

Compare IR to RF remote controls?
IR (infrared) remote controls are considered line of sight, meaning the remote has to "see" the device it is controlling. An RF remote is not because the signal has the strength to pass through some objects.
Which part of electromagnetic spectrum is emitted by warm objects?
IR, mostly.
Why do you see objects as upwright and of the same size although the images formed on the retina are upsidedown and diminished?
The short answer is that the interpretation of what you see occurs in the visual cortex, not in the retina.
Can infrared radiation be stopped by materials?
Yes, most objects that are opaque to visible light also stop IR. Water also stops IR.
Do shiny surfaces emit infrared?
They could if they were a source of it. Say if you heated a shiny steel pan in the oven. However shiny objects typically reflect IR better that emitting it. Dark objects are better at absorbing and emitting IR.
What is the property of an optical instrument by virtue of which it can form separate images of two close objects?
Resolution. The higher the resolution, the greater capability of separating the images of two close objects at a certain distance away from the objects.
How are GIF images stored?
As raster images, so if you have vector objects and choose to save as gif, you will not be able to change vector objects next time you open image.
What is an instrument that use a combination of lenses to produce enlarged images of tiny objects?
An instrument that uses a combination of lenses to produce enlarged images of tiny objects is a microscope.
