Haven't you ever sat around a wood fire and felt the heat on the side facing the fire? That's the IR radiation component of the heating. Propane just another fuel.
Ever seen a " heat lamp" again heats the surface it shines on via radiation not convection. In that case the fuel (source) is electricity.
The temperature of the source determines the wavelength and is why bulbs are rated as " temperature"... warm, cool, daylight
