Light is an electromagnetic radiation, a form of particle of energy called a photon. Since it is a form of energy it could not be deflected by electric or magnetic field. Moreover light is a chargeless particle so it can’t produce electric field and it cannot be differentiated into magnetic poles as it’s energy concentration is uniformly distributed hence a magnetic field could not disturb it.

Light is made of photon and they are neutral. So they are not affected by electric and magnetic field.Hope it clears. If u have doubts then please clearify. And if u like my answer then please approve answer

Light is an electromagnetic radiations. It consists of photons which are small bunch of energies they are not charged particles. Light is not made up of electrons or protons nor even of neutrons.hence they are not deflected in the presence of electric or magnetic fields.
