Long wave infrared corresponds to which category of infrared radiation?

Explanation:
Long wave infrared is in the thermal part of the spectrum and is not visible to the eye. The distinction between luminous and nonluminous infrared radiation is whether the source also emits visible light. Since long wave infrared does not produce visible light on its own, it falls under nonluminous infrared radiation. In everyday terms, you feel the heat from long wave IR, but you don’t see any glow or light coming from it.
