Yes, light is also a mass as it contains photon and it behaves both as particle and wave nature which clearly gives states that it has a mass.

Can mass exist without light?

Light has nothing to do with mass. Also note that mass is the resistance of a body to a change in motion.


What is the mass of the body which travels in the speed of light?

The only thing that travels at the speed of light, is light. Light is also said to have no mass, therefore the only way for something to travel at the speed of light is for it to have no mass.


Does mass travel at the speed of light or does it vibrate at the speed of light?

Neither, mass can never reach the speed of light, this question also contridicts the theory of realativity.


How do you calculate the mass of light?

light has zero mass. Photons have zero mass. So according to e=mc2 light must also have zero energy. Astonishing how all these photons reach us from all the way across the universe! But all physical things have mass


What is the mass of light and why?

Light has mass, because it exerts pressure on a body, e.g. solar sails. light must have mass to exert pressure, because the velocity of what causes pressure? matter. and matter definitely has mass! also, light is attracted to black holes by gravity, so it must have a mass, and the wave/particle duality confirms this


What type of mass is light?

Light 'particles' (photons) have no rest mass.


Who discovered light has mass?

One of light's defining characteristics is that it does not have mass; it is instead pure energy. To answer your question, no one discovered it because it has been proven to be false.


What has no mass?

Not many things have no mass however Photons (Light Particles) have no mass and therefore they travel at the speed of light.


If light has mass then it cannot travel at the speed of light if it has no mass it would not be affected by gravity Therefore the math for the infinite mass theory at light-speed must be reexamined?

Wrong, Light has mass and does travel at the speed of light and is affected by gravity! Light mass: hf=mc^2 means m=h/cw. Optical mass is m-red=2.96e-36 kg (w=.75um). Violet would be double 5.92e-36 kg. The math for the infinite mass theory at light-speed is also wrong.- -------- Light has no resting mass, just energy. Gravity is a bend in space, therfore Gravity does not pull at light but the light 'bends' with space


Does light from a flashlight have mass?

No, light does not have mass. Light is composed of particles called photons, which have no rest mass, but they do have momentum and energy.


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.


Who discovered that light has mass?

Light does not have mass. It is a form of energy.
