== == Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet. "Near infrared" light is closest in wavelength to visible light and "far infrared" is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer, far infrared wavelengths are about the size of a pin head and the shorter, near infrared ones are the size of cells, or are microscopic.

Do X-rays have lower frequencies than infra-red waves?
No. X-rays have much higher frequencies.
How do infrared rays give heat?
Infra-red ray's do not give heat merely when they come into contact with something the infra-red (light) energy is converted into thermal energy
What is the components of sunlight?
Sunlight comprises three components ; visible white light, ultra-violet rays and infra-red rays.
Does infrared radiation cause burns?
yes, the sun emits all types of the electromagnetic spectrum including infra red

Where is infra red rays in space?
Infra-red "rays" are part of the continuous electromagnetic spectrum stretching from gamma rays at one end to radio waves at the other. One property of electromagnetic waves is their ability to travel through a vacuum. Infra-red is emitted from the surface of any hot body (anything above absolute zero which is approx -273degC) for example the sun. The simple answer therefore is that infra-red is everywhere in space where absorption has not taken place.
Can you see body nude beneath clothes with the help of infra red rays?
No.
What is the order of stingrays?
