Infrared (IR) light, visible light and X-rays are all electromagnetic radiation, and the only difference is in the frequency (or wavelength) of the energy. They are listed here in the question in order of lower to higher frequency, and that means longer to shorter wavelength.

Infrared rays (IR) are just the opposite. They have less energy than red light (infra- means "below"), and we sense IR waves as heat.
