C=?

Okay I'm going to preface this by saying I've never taken a physics course but my brain at 2 am will not let me stop thinking about this.

If c = the speed of light in a vacuum, does that mean total distance covered? Hear me out. Since light has different wavelengths that means some light has more x,y distance to cover while still covering the same z distance. So theoretically smaller wavelength particles are covering more distance "up and down" while going the same distance forward in comparison to lower wavelength particles.

I'm really excited to see what the answer is here and if it gets super technical, I can ask my fiance when she wakes up to help explain your comments.
