Consider a blind person, he cannot see sun but he can tell if he is standing in sun or shade, how? Because he can feel infrared waves heating up his/her skin. Similarly there are certain substances that are sensitive to certain kind of waves, there can be an arrangement to detect these like a circuit to detect radio waves and so on.
