No, but they have different wavelengths.

Does each different colour or light have a different wavelength?
Yes, but only by a small variation.
Why do light waves scatter?
Each colour of light has a different wave length which are affected differently by refraction so they spread out and 'scatter'.
How does the light behave on each object?
light consist of many wavelenght and different wavelenght will be absorb by different object leaving certain wavelenght to escape and thus the colour of the object is shown
Why does white light look like a rainbow when it exits a prism?
Each colour component of white light has a different wavelength. Therefore meaning that each component is refracted by a slightly different amount, separating the colours and making them visible by dispersion.
When the light passes through the second medium what happens to the wave that causes the light to bend?
When light passes through a second medium with different refractive index as the first medium, its velocity will decrease or increase depending on its wavelength and the difference in refractive index of the two media. This causes the 'bending' of light as each of its components try to travel through the second medium at different velocities.
Does each different colour or light have a different wavelength?
Yes, but only by a small variation.
Are there really colors or is it all a mixture of the eyes and light?
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. We can measure the wavelengths of each colour, and they are all different. whether we all see the colours differently is a question for philosophers, but each colour has a different wavelength, so it is a difrerent type of light, which we see as a different colour.

What is the color of alpha radiation?
Alpha radiation does not have a colour. In order for something to have a colour, it must emit rays of visible light. Alpha radiation and light are two different things which have little to do with each other.

Each Care Bears comes in a different what?
Colour
Why does a rainbow appear the way it looks?
White light always consists of a natural mixture of different colours. Each colour is light at a different wavelength, with different refraction qualities from all other wavelengths. Refraction occurs in some circumstances when light waves pass from one medium to another, such as from air to glass (in a prism) or from air to water (in a cloud or misty rain) and back again. Because each colour, in other words each wavelength, bends a little more or less than each other colour, refraction gives us a rainbow. The property of refraction depends on the laws of nature, so rainbows have existed on earth since its very formation.
How exactly does a television work?
A television consists of thousands of small light bulbs. These light bulbs each turn on as a different colour. When a brain views these very small colours, it can put them together into a picture. Each image is slightly different from the previous, and when they are played at high speeds, it seems as if it is a moving scene.
Why are jellybeans different colors?
Because each colour represents a different flavour.
