recently, I read a news that stated that photons, or light particle, has a small amount of charge. what does this suppose to means, and how we know, and how come?

The charge of a photon is zero. Photons are electrically neutral particles, meaning they have no positive or negative charge.
Photons are not charged in the traditional sense. They do not have a net electric charge like particles such as protons and electrons. However, photons can interact with charged particles and transfer energy, which can give the appearance of a charge.
No, photons do not have an electric charge and therefore do not interact with electric fields in the same way that charged particles do. However, photons can be influenced by electric fields through phenomena such as the photoelectric effect.
The charge of photons is not directly related to their behavior. Rather, it is the energy and wavelength of photons that determine their behavior, such as their ability to interact with matter and travel through different mediums.
No, all photons have a charge of zero. However, there are different types of photons with varying energy and wavelengths, such as gamma rays, X-rays, visible light, and radio waves.
