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.

How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?

Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).


What three forms of radiation are from the sun?
