No. All colors of light travel at the same speed in vacuum.
Different colors represent light waves with different wavelengths (frequencies).

What wave has a color spectrum that is known as roygbiv?
That wave is called as electromagnetic wave. It has got a spectrum of very high frequency gamma rays to very low frequency radio waves. They all have the same speed. That is the speed of light.
How does the speed of a photon compare with the speed of an electromagnetic wave?
Light can be considered as a wave, or as a particle. As a particle, the particles are called photons. As a wave, light is an electromagnetic wave. In either case, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is approximately 300,000 km/sec.
Is a Red light a longitudinal wave?
Light is a transverse wave. The color doesn't matter.
Can be from the frequency of a light wave?
The wavelength of visible light is approximately between 400 and 700 nm; if you divide the speed of light by that value, you will get the corresponding frequencies.
What did you observe with the product of wavelength and frequency for each color?
Well, I wasn't actually there, so I didn't observe anything. But from my education and personal experience, I know that the product of the wavelength and frequency of any wave is the wave's speed. So I should expect that the product of wavelength and frequency for any color of light, and for that matter, any electromagnetic wave, is always the same number, and ought to always be very close to the speed of light in the medium in which you observed it, or would have observed it had you been there.
What is related to a amplitude of a wave?
the color of light radiating that heat from it feels good
Does color of a laser affects the velocity of the light wave projected by a laser?
No. Light travels at the same speed no matter what.
What properties of a light wave determine its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
What properties of light wave determines its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.
How are wave velocity frequency period and wavelength related?
Wave frequency can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave (if we're talking about electromagnetic waves in vacuum, that would be the speed of light, c) by wavelength.
Does the color of the laser affect the velocity of the light wave projected by the laser?
No, velocity and color are independent. Color is determined by frequency, and speed is determined by what material the light is traveling through.
Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
What type of speed is light?
Light is a type of wave; it is not a type of speed.
What wave has a color spectrum that is known as roygbiv?
That wave is called as electromagnetic wave. It has got a spectrum of very high frequency gamma rays to very low frequency radio waves. They all have the same speed. That is the speed of light.
Is speed wavelength and frequency of a wave related by a scientific theory?
No. They're related by the definitions of the wave's speed, wavelength, and frequency.
How does the speed of a photon compare with the speed of an electromagnetic wave?
Light can be considered as a wave, or as a particle. As a particle, the particles are called photons. As a wave, light is an electromagnetic wave. In either case, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is approximately 300,000 km/sec.
