The electromagnetic spectrum contains many types of waves, one of which is infrared waves. Other electromagnetic waves include gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, microwaves, and radio. Infrared waves are electromagnetic radiation of a particular wavelength or color that we have named 'infrared.' They are between 700 nm (nanometers) and 1 mm. Note that 1 mm is equal to 1,000,000 nanometers. They are just beyond what our eyes can detect on the red side of the rainbow.
Just beyond violet lies ultra-violet (UV), which is perceivable by some birds and insects, and is typically associated with sunburn-causing light. At the other end of the spectrum, infrared (IR) lies just beyond red, and is ordinarily associated with night vision and thermal imaging. Digital cameras are capable of recording the full spectrum from 300 to 1200 nm, but doing so would not produce realistic images.
