Answer

Infrared radiations

Reason — When a blackened bulb thermometer is placed beyond the red end of the visible spectrum, the temperature rises rapidly because this region contains infrared radiations. Infrared rays are invisible but carry significant heat energy, which is absorbed by the blackened bulb, causing the temperature to increase.

Therefore, the correct answer is Infrared radiations.
