Nobody invented infra-red or infra-red lights as such. Infra-red is radiant heat and is a natural phenomenon and is emitted by essentially all light sources. Infra-red devices with no visible light emissions, are, in their simplest form, radiant heaters. What was invented were ways to use IR for night-vision - often called image intensifiers.

What are the infrared light used for?
Infrared light has a large range of applications, and is often utilized where visible light cannot be detected, or something is blocking visible light but does not block infrared light. For example, when looking toward the center of the Milky Way large amounts of dust obscure the visible light that emanates from the center of the galaxy. This dust though does not obscure infrared light at certain wavelengths, and so astronomers can use cameras that are sensitive to this infrared light to obtain a picture of this region of space. Infrared light is also used in thermal imaging systems, and night-vision instruments are often sensitive to the infrared wavelengths that are emitted by warm objects.

What would be the hardest to see in infrared light?
Since our eyes can't see infrared light, you wouldn't be able to see ANYTHING if infrared is the only light available.

infrared
What describes the effects of infrared light in a night vision camera?
Night vision cameras convert ambient light photons into electons. Those electrons are amplified by an electrical and chemical process and converted into visible light.
