Both are electromagnetic waves. The frequency is different, therefore, also the energy and the wavelength are different. Red is part of the visible spectrum - the range of electromagnetic waves we can see. Infrared is invisible for our eyes.

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.
