    Infrared waves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than those of visible light but shorter than microwave wavelengths. Frederick William Herschel discovered infrared waves in 1800 and they are mainly used today for thermal imaging, night vision, spectroscopy, and telecommunications. Examples of infrared waves include heat emitted from the sun and human bodies, which can be detected by infrared cameras and thermal imaging devices.
