		The wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately outside the range that the human eye is able to perceive are called ultraviolet (UV) at the short wavelength (high frequency) end and infrared (IR) at the long wavelength (low frequency) end.
		Motion is defined in terms of the movement of the physical atoms and it appears that it is taken to be non-instantaneous.
		The quantum mechanical theory of light and electromagnetic radiation continued to evolve through the 1920's and 1930's, and culminated with the development during the 1940's of the theory of quantum electrodynamics, or QED.

		KCR West Rail was proposed in the early 1990s and both the Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC, now the MTR Corporation Limited, MTRCL) and Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) submitted plans to the government.
		Critics have said that the stations are located too far away from the main residential areas, and a trip on the Light Rail is often needed to connect to the West Rail.
		KCRC stations and trains are equipped with a range of facilities making rail services accessible to every member of the community, including individuals with special needs.

	Light rail
		For higher-order systems with fuller grade separation and higher capacity, see rapid transit (despite some of these having "light rail" or "light railway" in their name).
		Light rail is the successor term to streetcars, trolleys and trams in many locales, although the term is most consistently applied to modern or modernised tram or trolley operations employing features more usually associated with metro or subway operations, including exclusive rights-of-way, multiple unit train configuration and signal control of operations.
		The term light rail is derived from the British English term light railway long used to distinguish tram operations from steam railway lines, as well as from its usually lighter infrastructure.

		With the increase of internal commuter traffic demand, the Light Rail built a spur line north of Hung Shui Kiu (KCRC) station that opened in 1993, with four stations serving the initial housing areas of the town.
		The KCRC designed most railway stations in the Light Rail area to interchange with the new West Rail line.
		For this purpose, an interchange discount system was launched with the introduction of the West Rail (KCRC) system, meaning that passengers would pay no more (and in some cases less) to travel on the West Rail (KCRC) instead of the Light Rail for the main part of their journey.
