Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than that of red light

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find your favorite song on a long playlist by listening to each track one by one until you hear the right tune. This process is a bit like how infrared radiation works, as it involves energy waves with wavelengths longer than those of visible red light, extending beyond what we can see, similar to how your song is hidden among many others. Just as you scan through songs to find the right melody, infrared waves stretch beyond the visible spectrum, carrying energy that is felt as heat, not seen, but very much present in our daily lives.
