No, that is not true. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.

How fast different colors of light travel through a vacuum?
They all travel through a vacuum at the same speed - The speed of light.
Is speed related to the color of a light wave?
No. All colors of light travel at the same speed in vacuum. Different colors represent light waves with different wavelengths (frequencies).
How does the prism separate white light into colors?
It is due to the differing frequencies of colors of light. The different frequencies of light actually travel at different speeds,through a medium such as glass. When the light enters glass at an angle, the different speeds of each frequency cause the light to bend. Each color exits the glass at their own unique angle and separate.
How do white light waves act when they enter a prism?
As we know there are seven color in a light. It travels in a same velocity when it passes through air, but when it passes through prism different color travels with different velocity, as a result the emergent light is seen in seven color. Ther are; voilent,indigo,blue,green,yellow,red,orange.....
What is the materials that transmit light easily?
Light will travel fastest and without bending in a vacuum. No material can make light travel faster than its speed in a vacuum. Gases at a typical pressure, such as our atmosphere, are pretty permissive to light, but you can observe their affect on different wavelengths of light by simply looking at the sky: blue light scatters, causing the color of the sky during the day; red light less so, causing the color of sunset, when the sun's rays are close to parallel to the horizon. In extreme cases, materials made of super-densely packed gases can slow light to the point where our eyes can track its travel! For more info I would recommend looking at Snell's law and the concept of the index of refraction: these are directly related to the speed of light in different materials.

What color of light has the slowest speed in a vacuum?
Every color of light has the same identical speed in vacuum. Radio, X-rays,microwaves, heat waves, and gamma rays also all have the same speed.All colours travel at the same speed.
Does the color of a laser affect the velocity?
Light always travels at the same speed, the speed of light. At least in vacuum. In a medium light will travel at a slower pace, and the speed decrease is dependent on the color (wavelength) of the light. This is because the refractive index (which determines how fast light can travel through a medium) is color dependent.

What color has the maximum and minimum speed in air?
Red color will travel fastest in air and Blue color will travel slowest
What color is deep space?
Deep space, or any "space", has no color...it is a vacuum, devoid of any light.
