What has neither mass nor electric charge but possess energy and momentum?
This describes a photon quite well.
Light energy is proof of which Conservation Law?
I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum. A photon has both energy and momentum.I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum.

What bundle of energy with a zero charge is?
photon
What is the mass of a photon in motion?
A photon is a massless particle, meaning it has no rest mass. Its mass is zero, but it does have energy and momentum.
Is that true that the more energy of a photon the bigger the mass it possesses?
No, all photons have the same mass. Photons are massless (i.e. zero). All the energy in a photon is in its momentum, but increasing its momentum does not change it speed which is always "the speed of light". All massless particles always move at the speed of light.
What is the angular momentum of a photon?
The "intrinsic angular momentum" of particles is commonly called "spin". The spin of a photon is 1, in the units commonly used.
Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?
The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
If a photon is reflected from the mirror then the change in momentum of photon is?
Assuming the photon is reflected into the same medium it came from (so we can ignore refraction), its momentum differs only directionally, its magnitude stays the same. The directional component of its momentum vector is always pointing in the direction it's propagating. Refraction is the means by which the magnitude component of the vector changes. The change in momentum of photon is nh/lambda.
This is a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus?
The high energy photon that results from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus is called a gamma ray. It refers to a penetrating electromagnetic radiation that arises from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.
Can an object have kinetic energy but no momentum?
No. To have kinetic energy, it must have both mass and velocity; the expression is Ek = 0.5mv2. To have momentum, something must also have mass and velocity; the expression for this is p = mv. Hence , if something has kinetic energy, you know it has momentum, and you can actually derive one from the other (provided you know the velocity); p = 2Ek/v.
Is it possible to have a particle with zero rest mass but still possessing momentum?
Yes. That's exactly the case with the photon, the particle of electromagnetic energy.
What is the vocabulary for this is a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus?
Gamma Ray
