    4. Is there any experimental result that confirms that in the entire spectrum of visible light, different colors(VIBGYOR or ROY G. BIV), from the longest wavelength, red, to the shortest wavelength, violet, does move with the same velocity? Because, any smallest difference in them would cause light to travel in a curved path ( instead of a straight one) and in terms of light days or light years they must be moving in circular ( like a spring) path/trajectory. Do you have any other scientific explan

      I suggest you post your question in New Scientist mag. This is a popular science mag but read by serious scientists. i have an idea that light travels in waves as a complete spectrum not as individual colours. Radio waves are similar otherwise they would also travel in circles and come back to us.
