They work through the principle of Maxwell principle. A changing magnetic field will induce electric current and changing electric field will produce magnetic field, both in oscillating directions perpendicular to each other. Both of them move in different planes, and their interaction produces electromagnetic waves.

Infrared radiation is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum which is specifically used in night detection techniques to enhance visibility. They have a wavelength of around 700 nm to 1 mm and have a frequency range of around 10^12 Hz.
There are different types of electromagnetic waves and each of them have different wavelengths. Human eye can only see the light rays which have a minimum wavelength of around 400-700nm. Rays which don't meet this threshold will eventually not be visible to the humans.
It depends on the frequency of the wave. Rays such as Gamma rays, X-Rays etc. have higher frequencies which can lead to harmful impacts if exposed to the human body. These kind of rays cannot be even produced easily unlike low frequency rays.
