Are infrared light waves visible to the human eye?

  1. Yes, they are visible despite their wavelength.

  2. No, infrared light waves are electromagnetic energy that is invisible.

  3. Yes, but only in certain lighting conditions.

  4. No, they are visible only through special lenses.

The correct answer is: Yes, they are visible despite their wavelength.

Infrared light waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye under normal circumstances. Although they cannot be seen by the naked eye, they can be detected by special devices such as infrared cameras or sensors. Choice A is correct because it states that infrared light waves are indeed invisible to the human eye due to their specific wavelength.
