An infrared beam is often used on a security alarm. When the beam is broken, an alarm sounds. The beam is invisible because infrared is electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths than the ones with visible light.
In IR (InfraRed) detector is a circuit that receives an infrared input, either in an alarm or as a heat sensing device. In an alarm circuit, using an infrared beam rather than a laser has both advantages and disadvantages. Passive heat sensors rely on a general increase in temperature to identify a likely source, e.g. an animal, person, or vehicle engine.
Both are light emitting diodes, but an infrared led emits infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum. With the naked eye, humans can't see infrared light but many cameras can. Infrared leds are used in remote controls and many other applications.
no
it is used for reciving the infrared signal of frequency 38khz from a remote location at distance may be 10 m.

A small beam of light
To see an infrared light beam, one can use an infrared camera or infrared goggles that can detect and display the infrared light as visible light. These devices convert the infrared light into a visible image that can be seen by the human eye.
yes
In general, no. You may be able to exploit non-linear properties of the medium through which light is shining, but you cannot stop light using just other light.
No, infrared thermal beams cannot penetrate metal as they are absorbed or reflected by the metal's surface. Metal is opaque to thermal radiation, so the beam cannot pass through it like it can through certain other materials.
im 75% positive that it does penetrate deeper than infrared radiation.
Infrared lasers can be focused using specialized lenses or mirrors. By adjusting the position of the lens or mirror, the laser beam can be shaped and concentrated to a specific focal point. This allows the beam to have maximum intensity at the focused spot for various applications such as cutting, welding, or material processing.
Each X-ray photon carries more energy than an infrared photon does. But it's still very easy to shine an infrared beam that has far more energy than an X-ray beam. Simply use an infrared source that radiates more photons than the X-ray source does.

The PEQ-2 and PEQ-4 are infrared illumination and aiming devices, to be used in conjunction with night vision goggles. They have two infrared beams, which aren't visible to the naked one. One is a narrower beam, intended to indicate point of aim, and the other is a much broader beam, intended for illumination.
Open path line of sight IR gas detectors work by emitting a beam of infrared light across an area, and then measuring the amount of light that is absorbed by gases in the path of the beam. When a gas is present in the path, it absorbs some of the infrared light, causing a decrease in the intensity of the beam. This decrease is detected by the sensor, which triggers an alarm to indicate the presence of the gas.
