No. All wavelengths of light, and all other forms of electromagnetic waves too, all travel
at the same speed, just as long as they remain traveling through the same stuff.

Does the speed of a wave increases as a wavelength increase?
the frequenzy increases, the speed of light is constant
What happenes to the wave speed as the wavelength increased?
Velocity = Frequency * Wavelength. If the wavelength increases and the frequency stays the same, then the speed of the wave will increase.
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.
How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?
Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.
As the speed of a particle increases does its associated wavelength increase or decrease?
The wavelength of waves travelling with the same speed would decrease if the frequency of the waves increases. This is because, speed of a wave is the product of the distance of the wavelength times the frequency of the wave. The velocity of a wave is usually constant in a given medium.
Which characteristic of a light wave must increase as the light wave passes from glass into air?
The speed. Therefore, the wavelength also increases, since the frequency stays the same.
How would the wavelength of a wave change if the speed of the wave increased but not the frequency?
The wavelength would increase by the same proportion.
How the wavelength traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
How do you increase the frequency of a wave?
Either shorten the wavelength or increase it's speed.
How do you increase frequency of a wave?
Either shorten the wavelength or increase it's speed.
What happens to the wavelength the if we increase the frequency of vibration?
Provided the speed of the wave remains constant, as we increase the frequency of wave then wavelength decreases. Because frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
What happens to the frequency if you increase your wavelength and keep wave speed the same?
There is no way to change the wave speed, propagation speed other than changing the density of the medium. If you increase the frequency the wavelength gets shorter, which is true with both light and sound, so if the wavelength is increased the frequency will be less. Since the speed slows in a denser material we can make lenses and prisms.
