Best Answer

Light is a form of radiation.

Radiation is an emanation of energy from a body, that can pass through a vacuum unaffected. it travels in a straight line, and is only slightly affected by gravity. A black hole obviously will, with its massive gravity well, affect all forms of light and radiation.

Heat, light particles (photons) and radiation particles (alpha, beta, and gamma) are all forms of radiation, among other more exotic forms.
