I don't think you are correct for the second part.
All electromagnetic waves travel at same speed in vaccum, iirc.The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.

Different 'colors' of light (they are really frequencies, or energies) travel different speeds in mediums.. not in the vacuum.

I'd like to think you're doing this because I asked nicely. Thanks, btw. Your responses, while somewhat vague, are at least more pleasant than the responses KH would have given.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Light isn't really sped up (in the examples I remember right now), rather it is the group velocity of 'packets' of light which is faster than light.
