hello

  • The primary source of infrared radiation is heat or thermal radiation, any object which has a temperature radiates in the infrared. Even objects that we think of as being very cold, such as an ice cube, emit infrared. The warmer the object, the more infrared radiation it emits.
  • They are referred as heat waves because they are readily absorbed by water molecules in most materials, which increase their thermal motion, so they heat up the material.
  • Infrared waves are used for therapeutic purpose and long distance photography.

I hope my answer helps you....
