No, the velocities of all the different colors and electromagnetic radiation (i.e. - Radio waves, Infrared waves, Microwaves, Visible Light, Ultraviolet Rays, X-Rays, and Gamma Rays) are the same.
In a vacuum, this velocity (the speed of light), commonly referred to as c, is approximately 3.0*10^8 or 300000000 meters/second (or 186000 miles/second). In other media such as air, glass, water the velocity or speed of light would be different
Although all colors have the same velocity, each color is identified by its frequency and wavelength. A color with a higher frequency has a shorter wavelength (and a lower frequency has a longer wavelength.
This equation demonstrates this relationship between frequency and wavelength for a given speed:
v = fλ
where v=velocity/speed, f=frequency in Hertz, λ=wavelength in metric units (meters, centimeters, etc)

Does each colour or light have different velocities?
No, but they have different wavelengths.
Can two object have the same speeds but different velocities?
No. Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. If velocities are the same, their magnitudes are the same, which is another way of saying that the speeds are the same.It can work the other way around, however ... same speed but different velocities, meaning same speed in different directions.
Can satellites at different heights have equal velocities?
I'm not sure
How do you combine velocities in the same direction and different direction?
By vector addition
What are most velocities measured relative to?
Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.
A prism demonstrates what?
Refraction.In addition to refraction, a common prism demonstrates that different wavelengths of light travel at different velocities in the prism material. Hence the spreading out of the various colours.
Will prism disperse light in water?
Yes, light always disperses when entering a medium other than vacuum because photons with different frequencies (different "colours") have different velocities in a medium other than vacuum, therefore different angles of refraction.
Can a body posses two velocities at a specific time?
For different observers (moving at different velocities), the object will have different velocities (relative to the corresponding observer). For one and the same observer, the body will have only one velocity at any given time.
Does each colour or light have different velocities?
No, but they have different wavelengths.

How do you see different colours?
We see different colours because other colours are being absorbed.

What would cause objects that have the same mass to have different amounts of intertia?
If the objects have different velocities they will have different inertia.
What is the relation between angular velocities of a pair of coupled gears of different radii?
It seems to me that the ratio of their angular velocities would be the negative reciprocal of the ratio of their radii.
How many colours does a parrot have?
It has many different colours
What are most velocities measured relative to?
Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.Most velocities are measured relative to Earth.
