Yes - all light (and in fact, all electromagnetic radiation) travels at the same speed (about 300 000 km/s). Different coloured light is seen as different colours because it has different wavelengths and frequencies.
The speed of light c, the wavelength of light lambda , and its frequency f are related by the following formula:
c = f x lambda
c is a constant - it never changes. This remarkable fact led Einstein to his theory of Special Relativity.

∙ 12y agoI really doubt this because if speed of light is proportional to energy E=MC^2 than light emitted sun should be more than that of the light coming from bulb or other small source
i am not sure but this is my assumption
INS truth

∙ 7y agoThe speed of light Changes a Little depending on what it's travelling through. Its fastest in vacuum and slower in glass or water.

What color of light travels with greatest velocity?
All colors of light travel with the same speed.
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).
What can you say about the speed of the different colors light in air?
I could say that shorter wavelengths move faster, but that would be wrong. The truth is that all wavelengths/colors travel at the same speed.
What color travels most slowly in glass?
The speed of light does not vary by the color that it is perceived as, so all of the colors should travel at the same speed.
Why do waves of different wavelengths travel at the same speed?
All light travel at the same speed.
Does red light travel faster than blue light?
No. All colors travel at the same speed. It is called "the speed of light".
What color of light travels with greatest velocity?
All colors of light travel with the same speed.
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).
Do infrared waves travel more quickly visible light?
No. All colors of light, and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation, all travel with the same speed.
Which light has the greatest speed?
In a vacuum, all colors of light - as well as other electromagnetic radiation - travel at the same speed, the so-called "speed of light".
What can you say about the speed of the different colors light in air?
I could say that shorter wavelengths move faster, but that would be wrong. The truth is that all wavelengths/colors travel at the same speed.
What color travels most slowly in glass?
The speed of light does not vary by the color that it is perceived as, so all of the colors should travel at the same speed.
What can you say about the speed of different colors in air?
You can that they're all identical.
Why do waves of different wavelengths travel at the same speed?
All light travel at the same speed.
Does the color of a laser affect the velocity of a light wave projected by the laser?
Colors are determined by the wavelengths but all wavelengths travel at the same speed. So no, colors do not affect the velocity of light.
What do all types electromagnetic radiation have in common?
They travel at the speed of light (c = 3*108 m/s)
What is it that all electromagnetic waves do the same?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum -- the speed of light.
