is energy(with photonic mass)of a light beam capable of gravitationally attracting other light beam in absence of other gravity sources..

Jonathan Scott said:Note however that there is no attraction between beams traveling in parallel in the same direction (but there is attraction between beams traveling in opposite direction).
Light curves space due to the effects of gravity. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, mass can cause the curvature of space and time. Light, which has no mass, can also be affected by gravity and thus curves as it travels through space.
Light beams do not have an electrical charge, so they cannot attract or repel each other in the same way that charged particles do. However, they can be affected by other forces, such as gravity or the magnetic field, which can cause them to change direction or change their path.
Light and gravity are both fundamental forces in the universe. While light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, gravity is a force that results from the curvature of space and time. Light can be influenced by gravity, causing it to bend or curve, but it does not directly interact with gravity in the same way that matter does.
Yes, light can be used to study the curvature of space. Astronomers use a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, where light from distant objects is bent by the gravitational pull of massive objects in its path. This allows scientists to observe the effects of gravity on light and gather information about the curvature of space.
Yes, light is affected by the curvature of space. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, the path of light can be curved by the presence of massive objects or strong gravitational fields. This is why we observe phenomena such as gravitational lensing, where the light from distant objects is bent by the curvature of space.
