BlakeBoth red light and blue light are forms of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum, with red light having longer wavelengths and lower energy compared to blue light. Despite their differences in wavelength and energy, both red and blue light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second).

Does blue light have travel at a different frequency than red light in the same medium?
No, blue and red light travel at the same speed in the same medium, but they have different frequencies. Blue light has a higher frequency than red light.
When red light is projected onto a white surface red light is reflected. Blue light will similarly be reflected as blue. When both are projected onto a white surface we see neither red nor blue. Is th?
When red light and blue light are both projected onto a white surface, they combine to create magenta light. Magenta light is a different color from red or blue, which is why we don't see red or blue individually in that situation.
Which has a higher velocity blue light or red light?
Both blue and red light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s). However, blue light has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to red light.
What color would white light appear viewed through red filter and pure blue?
White light viewed through a red filter would appear red, as the filter absorbs all colors except red. When viewed through a pure blue filter, the white light would appear black or very dark, as blue filters absorb all colors except blue.
Could you emit the same amount of light energy per second which must emit more photons per second a source of red light or a source of blue light?
A source of blue light would need to emit more photons per second to produce the same amount of energy as a source of red light. This is because blue light has higher energy photons, so fewer photons are needed to achieve the same total energy output as red light, which has lower energy photons.
