yikes! 40 khz is not a wavelength - it's a frequency - and I don't think it is the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation coming from the source either. If that were the frequency, the wavelength would be about 10,000 meters. That's a real long radio wave, not infrared. So, yes, you ARE completely mistaken. Perhaps the infrared source is being pulsed at 40khz, but that's a whole difference animal.
