Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of microwaves. Infrared radiation has wavelengths between about 750 nm and 1 mm. To convert wavelength to frequency, divide the speed of light by the wavelength. Speed of light is 300000000 m/s so 1mm corresponds to a frequency of 3E11 or 300GHz 750nm corresponds to a frequency of 4E14 or 400THz if I didn't drop a decimal point somewhere.
