Speed of any wave does not depend on the wavelength. It depends only on the elastic and inertia properties of the medium.

In vaccum if frequency increases wavelenth decreases, if wavelenth increases frequency decreases so velacity in vaccum is independent of wavelenth

na= refractive index of air   = 1

nb=refractive index of vacume = 0

va=velocity of light in air  =3*10^8m/s

vb=velocity of light in vacume

 

we know that na/nb= vb/va

then vb = 3*10^8m/s

 

fa  =  va/lmdab  ;  fb  =  vb/lmdab

by this fa=fb&va=vb

then lmda a=lmada b

so that the velocity of light  in vacuum is independent of  wave length
