If light can be sucked into a black hole than it must have mass so doe it?

i think that light does have mass because it gets sucked into a black hole although a scientist did prove that somehow it doesn't have mass but my dad told me that there was an other test, under ground so there was no light, where they put a thick metal plate, painted one side black and one side white and the opposite on the other side, on the top of a sharp cone with a cone on top of is so it could balance. then the scientist got a very bright light and shone it at the white side and amazingly the metal plate started to move in the direction the light was shone at

What if eart6h got sucked in by a black hole?
It would get completely destroyed. the mass of the black hole would increase.
What happens to planets when they get sucked in black holes?
A planet that falls into a black hole would get completely destroyed. Its mass would be added to the mass of the black hole.
What becomes of energy when it is sucked up into a black hole?
Such energy has a mass equivalent (m = e/c2). Any such mass falling into the balck hole will increase the mass of the black hole.
If light can be pulled into a black hole that suggests mass What is the weight per square meter?
light has no mass and therefore no weight. Light cannot be "pulled" into a black hole. The escape velocity from a black hole is greater than the speed of light, so no light can escape from a black hole. Spacetime in the vicinity of a black hole is greatly distorted by the hole's gravity, and light may travel along curved geodesics that intersect the black hole. But it is not pulled in.
Where does the stuff a black hole suck in go?
Things falling into a black hole are ripped apart by tidal force, become a stream of their constituent atoms. These atoms are further shredded by the time they reach the singularity, and the mass of what is sucked in is added to the mass of the black hole.
If light get suck in the black hole it still can escape the gravity because it has no mass but why light still in the black hole?
Light does have mass - since it has energy, it follows that it also has mass. Its REST MASS or INVARIANT MASS, however, is zero. On the other hand, the black hole distorts space and time in its surroundings so much that the only paths a ray of light (or anything moving at the speed of light or less) can take, will take it deeper into the black hole.
Why they call it a black hole?
A black hole sucks all the mass and energy which passes it, even light. So it's called black hole.
Why do they call it a black hole?
A black hole sucks all the mass and energy which passes it, even light. So it's called black hole.
Will a small planet be sucked in by a black hole first than a large planet?
It depends on which is nearer. The huge mass of a black hole would overwhelm the planets mass, so this would not make much difference in terms of which would be drawn in first.
What will happen when you are in a black hole?
It depends on what kind of black hole you encounter, but all end in sure death. You will be sucked into the void in a mass of broken bones and torn flesh. A stellar mass black hole is an average sized black hole created when a star burns the last of its atomic fuel. If you enter a stellar mass black hole- theoretically- you be spagettified (stretched and ripped into a strand) soon after passing the event horizon. Super massive black holes are the colossal variety that rest at the center of all galaxies. Enter one of these babies, and you will get a few moments of bright, beautiful light before you get vaporised. Either way, you're toast.
What is Light and how is it attracted towards Black Hole?
Light is energy without a rest mass - but it does have a mass equivalent due to the energy it contains. A black hole warps the space around itself, thus causing "light rays" to be bent toward it.
What happens to a mass when it is swallowed by a black hole?
The object swallowed by the black hole is destroyed; its mass is added to the mass of the black hole.
