Infrared radiation and visible radiation?

Visible radiation (a.k.a. light) is the wavelengths we can see. Infrared radiation lies down below the red end of the spectrum that we can see, hence infra red. But we can make device that both generate and detect infra red radiation. Your TV control works this way.


What is infra red spectra stretching?

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.
