Infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by certain lights or devices. It lies in the spectrum beyond visible red light and is invisible to the human eye. However, the radiation can be detected using special cameras or devices, and its heat is clearly felt on the skin. Infrared radiation is generated by many light sources, such as infrared heaters, infrared LEDs, or incandescent bulbs.

This radiation has a wide range of applications: It is used in medicine for heat therapy, to improve blood circulation, and to relieve pain. In industry, it is used for drying, heating, or testing materials. It also plays an important role in consumer electronics, such as in remote controls and sensors. In addition, infrared radiation is used in security and surveillance technology as well as in astronomy to detect objects that remain invisible in visible light.
