Can we consider light as a force ?
can a very heavy light move a 0.00002 gram mass ?

Yes, light can exert a small amount of force on objects. This is known as radiation pressure, and it is caused by the transfer of momentum from photons (particles of light) to the object they hit. However, the force is usually too small to be noticeable in everyday situations.
Light is an electromagnetic force, which means it is a force that is carried by photons and is caused by the interaction between electric and magnetic fields. Other types of forces, such as gravitational and nuclear forces, are caused by different interactions between particles.
No, light is not considered a fundamental force. It is a result of the fundamental forces of electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force. These forces are believed to be unified at high energies, creating the electromagnetic force, which includes light.
Light travels through space as a wave, or a disturbance in the electric and magnetic fields. It does not require a medium to travel through, unlike sound waves which need a medium like air or water. Light can also travel through a vacuum, such as the empty space between planets.
Yes, light is a form of energy. It carries energy in the form of photons, which can interact with matter and transfer their energy to it. This is why light can heat up objects when it is absorbed by them, such as when sunlight heats up the Earth's surface.
