Answer:

Infrared

Step-by-step explanation:

Infrared light is used by electrical heaters, cookers for cooking food, and by infrared cameras which detect people in the dark. Infrared light has frequencies which are absorbed by some chemical bonds. The internal energy of the bonds increases when they absorb infrared light, which causes heating.
