The International System of Units is the modern form of the metric system, and is the most . Another three base units (for temperature, amount of substance and luminous . The early metric systems defined a unit of weight as a base unit, while the SI force via Newton's law, F = m × a: force equals mass times acceleration.

So it is indeed affected by gravity- not just in black holes but in all sorts of less extreme situations too. In fact, the first important confirmation of General Relativity came in , when it was found that light from stars bends as it goes by the Sun. This is invariant because it doesn't change when you describe an object at rest or from the point of view of someone who says it's moving.
Obviously that's a good type of "mass" to give when you want to make a list of masses of particles. There is no point of view from which the light is standing still! However, once you consider light traveling in a variety of directions, the E's from the different parts just add up to give the total E but the vector p 's don't.
In fact the total p can be zero if there are beams traveling opposite ways. So for many purposes the older definition of m the inertial mass is more convenient than the invariant particle mass, since it's the inertial mass that's just the sum of the inertial masses of the parts. Do you think this is absolutely true or is not certainty? It's not just true in quantum physics.

Even classical electromagnetism, as in Maxwell's equations, required that light have momentum. It's been measured in countless experiments.
It's just plain true. I think it was Einstine who proved that no mass can travel at the speed of light. As any object of any arbitrary mass when approximates the speed of light increases in mass.

When it reaches the vecinity of speed of light its mass is so enormous that it requires infinite amount of energy to propel it. Since photons have zero rest mass they can move with the speed of light. Generally,Mass is defined as the amount of substance or matter contained in the body. Also , according to the Newton's gravitational law mass can be defined as a quantity which has gravitational property that is it can apply gravitational force to other body and also it can be influenced.

When light passes through the gravitational field of any heavenly body it deviates toward the heavenly body. So light has mass on the basis of Newton's gravitational law. You're on the right track in important ways, but it turns out life isn't quite so simple. Yes, if we define the source of gravitational effects to be mass, we can see that light has mass in that sense. However, if you tried to use that force equation you gave, you'd calculate some bending of light in a gravitational field, but it would only be half the observed amount.
General Relativity, which describes the distortion of space-time by mass and momentum, is needed to get the right answer. Your other definition, "Mass is defined as the amount of substance or matter contained in the body. It just substitutes some words for others, and doesn't tell us what to expect to see in the world. Light sails use the momentum of photons to provide propulsion for space flights. If a photon is reflected and hence loses momentum to the sail what effect is there on the reflected photon. Does its wavelength change? If so why dont we see a change in colour if we view things in a mirrow single reflection and why do LASERS work in spite of multiple reflections in the laser tube stimulating a single frequency of output light?
Bill- I'm very sorry that this question somehow slipped between the cracks long ago. When light bounces off an object it does impart momentum to it. In the simplest case, light bouncing off a very massive stationary object, the light imparts no energy to the object. The momentum imparted is twice that of the incoming light, since it just changes directions and thus changes the sign of its momentum.
A more interesting case looks at this from the point of view of somebody who says the big object is moving, for example away from the light source. From the new point of view, the light transferred energy to the object, since the momentum transfer times the velocity of the object isn't zero. Thus the reflected light has less energy and lower absolute value of momentum than the incoming light. You do in fact see a tiny change in color if you bounce light off moving objects. The effect is called laser Doppler velocimetry, or quasi-elastic light scattering. I used to do experiments of exactly that type.
The broadening of the frequency spectrum of the light emitted by atoms due to the Doppler shifts associated with their motions in the mirror frame is a real effect in laser technology.
How can a particle have momentum when it does not have mass? Is this because some particles like photons can travel close to or at the speed of light and then that gives them mass through the lorenz transformations? You're pretty much right. In order for a particle without rest mass to have momentum, it must actually travel at exactly the speed of light.
