Infrared wavelengths fall just below visible red light in the spectrum. Short wave infrared, the frequencies closest to visible red, have no known effect, although some are suspected in the area of vision and effects on the thymus, a gland just behind the forehead.
Long-wave infrared is known as heat. Most of us know the effects from having stood out in the sun. Too much heat, and you're toast. That pretty much covers it.

∙ 9y ago- a low dose of IR keeps you warm in the winter
- a medium dose of IR cooks a steak well done
- a high dose of IR will catch your house on fire
- etc.

What is the difference between infrared ray and gamma rays?
The main difference between gamma rays and infrared rays is in their wavelengths. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths while infrared rays have longer wavelengths. Gamma and infrared rays are types of electromagnetic radiation.
What is the maximum range of infrared rays?
The maximum range of infrared rays is 1000m.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation can cause harm to living human tissue?
Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma rays for sure, but even infrared radiation, at very high intensities, could cause harm (burning) to living human tissue.
What do people use everyday that have infrared rays in them?
Infrared rays are used in television remote controls
Are infrared rays radiation rays?
Yes, when you look at the Latin translation ,infrared means "below red."
Where rays can be found?
infrared rays can be found in sunflower
What is the origin of infrared?
Infrared Rays (IR) originate from the sun :)
