Answer:

Close, but not for most humans. Infrared (IR) is on the edge of what is called the Visible Spectrum. It is one of many electromagnetic waves that include visibile light IR, ultraviolet, microwaves, radio waves, etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

It really depends on how "visible light" is defined. Humans cannot see IR, but some animals can.
