Answer and Explanation :

Yes , it almost like how the sun gives off light except it a long wavelength in a smaller object with circuits so, if you put a lamp on a piece of material long enough it may catch fire.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal radiation is emitted by any surface having a temperature higher than absolute zero. So the short answer to your question is yes. Light (electromagnetic radiation) of any frequency will heat surfaces that absorb it.

I hope it helps.
