The longer wavelength and lower frequency of red light enables it to be dispersed less fast, like deep sound vs. high sounds.

I don't remember where I heard this, but supposedly the colors red and green are the two colors that take awhile for the eye to sort of "adjust" to it when you look at it. That's also why they made Freddy Krueger's sweater in the Nightmare on Elm Street series red and green-striped. It's something to do with the color receptors in your eyes.
Hope this helps. =)

I learned in while I was in the military that red light doesn't cause the pupil to contract as much as other wavelengths of light. This is why whenever we were preparing for a night op, we would work in red light condidtions, it wouldn't make us lose our "night vision". I was never any good a biology [Physics rules!!!!], so I cannot explain why the eye doesn't contract like it would when exposed to white light.
