How can light "bounce off" something if it doesn't have mass?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens%E2%80%93Fresnel_princi...

The light "beam" we perceive is the result of infinite circular waves. The points were the light is not are points where they cancel each other out. We had that as part of the school curriculum, do you not have that, or did you forget?

The rest mass is zero but photons have momentum when moving.
