The frequency of infrared light is much, much higher. For a 940nm wavelength, this works out at roughly 318928146808.5 kHz - or close to 319 THz.
FYI - While you will not be able to see IR light directly, every phone camera I have tried IS. So, if you ever want to check the IR signal is being transmitted from your remote, just fire up your phone camera, point the IR emitter at the camera and press a button or two.
