yes, humans emit infrared radiation
infrared radiation travels at the speed of light i,e 3*10^8 m/s
The equation for infrared is as as follows: alpha+rho+tau=1. ,
Light is an electromagnetic radiation. Our eyes are sensitive, the E/M radiation at the light wavelength. Hence we see light. The E/M radiation adjacent to light are Infra-red(IR) and Ultra-violet(UV), which we do not see.

No. Infrared (IR) light is longer wavelength (lower frequency) light and is of lower electromagnetic energy than shorter wavelength (higher frequency) ultraviolet (UV) light. Note that our skin "senses" infrared light (which we normally think of as heat) in a different way than it does ultraviolet light. This may account for the difference in the way it "feels" when we're exposed to light of the two energies. To be clear, ultraviolet light has higher energy photon for photon than infrared light. If both are absorbed by the skin, the reaction of the skin will be slightly different, but the energy imparted to the skin will be greater with the UV light that the IR light.

Any and all objects that are warm emit electro-magnetic [radiated] waves in the Infra-Red range of E-M frequencies. IR radiation is stopped from 'Escaping' Into Outer Space, and remains instead Our Unwelcome Guest. radiation A+
The relationship between wavelength and energy in infrared radiation can be described by the inverse relationship known as Wien's displacement law. This law states that as the wavelength of infrared radiation increases, its energy decreases, and vice versa. In other words, longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy, and shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy.
The energy of infrared is hc/w where w is the infrared wavelength. hc=.2picopico joule meter = 1.25 micro electron volt meter =1.25uevm. Infrared w= 750 nano meters, thus infrared energy is less than 1.67 ev.
Light waves are energy, and are a form of electromagnetic radiation. That makes them similar to radio waves (which have a lower frequency) and X-rays (which have a higher frequency).
The higher the frequency, the greater the electromagnetic energy. High-frequency gamma rays are the most energetic form of radiation (and the most dangerous to human health), followed by X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared (heat), and finally radio waves. Microwaves are actually a form of radio waves in the near-infrared. What makes them so apparently energetic (and therefore so useful) is that their particular frequency is great at making water molecules vibrate, which imparts heat energy directly into food in a process known as dielectric heating. E=hv Where E is energy h is planks constant v is the frequency of the EMr
Light energy refers to electromagnetic radiation that can be seen by the human eye, while solar energy specifically refers to the energy derived from the sun's electromagnetic radiation. Solar energy encompasses a broader spectrum of energy that includes both light energy and non-visible forms of energy such as infrared and ultraviolet radiation.
