William Herschel made his significant discovery of infrared radiation in 1800 while experimenting with sunlight through a prism at his home in Slough, England. During his experiments, he measured the temperatures of the colors in the spectrum and found that the region beyond the visible red light was warmer, indicating the presence of radiation that was not visible to the eye. This discovery paved the way for the understanding of infrared radiation and its applications in various fields.
