What determines nanometers (wavelength?) Of light?
And also, if infrared light is shined, what kind of device receives this and makes it visible? I have some how seen it on a camera, any information on
this?
And, lastly, can infrared light cause objects to glow, or fluoresce?

The Wavelength is a function of the Frequency at which the wave oscillates.
Please post this kind of question to Beginnings, as i believe i already asked you to do in another post.
Answers to all of what you're asking is very quickly available if you type 'wavelength' into google.

IR light cannot cause objects to fluoresce in the visible region. IR light has a longer wavelength, and lower energy, than visible light, thus
objects cannot absorb it and emit visible light, which has a higher energy than IR, without input of energy.
