Solution

The correct option is B Infra-red rays
Answer is B.
Infrared (IR) is invisible radiant energy, electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, extending from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 700 nano-meters to 1 mm.
Infrared is used in night vision equipment when there is insufficient visible light to see. Night vision devices operate through a process involving the conversion of visible light photons into electrons that are then amplified by a chemical and electrical process and then converted back into visible light. Infrared light sources can be used to enhance the available visible light for conversion by night vision devices, increasing in-the-dark visibility without actually using a visible light source.
