Light is a form of energy, and like any energy light vibrates between two extremes. This movement can be represented in the form of spiraling waves. The peaks and troughs of these waves show charged particles switching between electricity and magnetism, which ultimately results in photons. All light is made up of photons.  In scientific terms, the word vibration measures the amount of energy exhibited by a particular wave; light waves with greater vibration will have a higher frequency with a more rapid oscillation between extremes.

Unimpeded, light travels at pretty much the same speed wherever it goes, around 18 million kilometers per hour. However, when it passes through substances like air, water, or glass, then previously straight light rays are forced to bend which causes them to slow down.  Light is made up of many different energies, each one vibrating on its own particular frequency and wavelength. The combination of these wavelengths is visible as white light, but as light moves through different mediums other colors can be clearly seen. 

While we may perceive these colors as red, yellow, orange or indeed violet, the truth is that the boundaries separating colors in the visible spectrum are extremely ill-defined. As such, the frequencies and wavelengths separating violet from indigo are considered wholly subjective.  Generally, only the center of each color on the spectrum can be clearly defined.  Based on these readings, red has the lowest energy, frequency and vibration of any visible light while violet has the highest.

That’s right, the color Rosicrucian Order  AMORC recommends for lowering vibrational frequencies is actually the most rapidly moving light on the entire visible spectrum. While the mechanism for this action is never described in the monograph, any basic theory of physics would tell us that rapidly moving atoms would serve to further excite any field emitted from the body.
