Blackhole attracts the light and according to universal law of gravitation: F=GM1M2/R^2
But mass of light is 0 then the after solving the above equation we get F=0
Thrn why is light attracted towards blackhole

Dear Student,
                        Photon has rest mass zero not dynamic . And photon always in motion can observed( i mean experiment can carried with its motion only). In dynamic condition it has mass , momentum and energy  .
                         As 
                             If frequency of photon is νthen energy =hνand momentum =hνcand mass=hνc2     c is speed of light 
That is why it is attracted in black hole .
Regards

Light is considered a wave and a particle, here we consider it particle which comprises of small packets of energy called photons. It is evident that photons have a rest mass ( total mass at rest) of 0. Thats why it happens
