Light travels at approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum, which has a refractive index of 1.0, but it slows down to 225,000 kilometers per second in water (refractive index of 1.3; see Figure 2) and 200,000 kilometers per second in glass (refractive index of 1.5

Wavelength order of visible light :
Violet < Indigo < Blue < Green < Yellow < Orange < Red
Hence the reason statement is true that red light has a longer wavelength than blue.
Velocity of light (red or blue ) in air va=c
Refractive index of glass ng=1.5
Velocity of light (red or blue) in glass vg=ngc= constant (independent of the light)
Hence both red and blue travel with same speed in glass.
