Question:

What is the gravity effect of light.?

All forces have an equal and opposite effect. So if light is bent by gravity as it travels through the universe ?shearing. Then the light must have an equal pull on gravity. Increase the light...increase the gravity effect of light. So if you increased and contained light within a hollow coil with a vacuum wouldn't you produce gravitons from the coil.

Answer:

In my understanding, gravity doesn't really bend light directly. However, gravity does curve space. Thus, light traveling through space appears to bend, even though from the photon's perspective it's traveling in a straight line. Light can't escape from black holes because within the event horizon, space is so curved that it has become closed. The light inside a black hole is still traveling in a straight line (as seen from the photon's perspective). If space is curved, then anything traveling through it will appear to follow a bent path, even if it has no mass. Mind you, I don't claim to understand relativity or particle physics. I could easily be wrong on this, but anyway, that's my understanding. Hope that helps!
Light carries momentum and energy. Therefore it will distort space and macroscopic time. So yes if you could confine enough light somehow it would be expected to produce a gravitational effect. As far as I know noone has ever done this, so we don't know for sure. Perhaps you could come up with a suitable experimental setup? Cheers!
Light has no mass it travels straightly.The gravity makes the space bend light will simply follow its path resulting it to a bent light.
Nothing Directly. The Gravity produced by Mass causes it to bend the space. The light particles called photons are the massless particles, so they are not Pulled by gravity Light travels through the space which is already bent or distorted by gravity. That's why the light is distorted by space and not by the gravity directly. But Light particles called photons have masslike properties called Momentum. Which in very large intensity can warp the space around it. Some experiments in the 'Time Travel' approach are being carried out. In which the the LASER Lights will be used to warp the space.
Light has substance , Light is matter with weight . Gravity is a force of energy that effects objects with weight and substance . Light is effected by even our sun when passing near it . A black hole the perfect most complete dense thing know to man . Has gravity that not even light can escape
