Light is electromagentic wave (電磁波). It composes of time varying electric and magentic fields. Hence, light propagates by mutual induction of electric and magentic fields in space.
Newton's Second Law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force applied, and takes place in the direction at which the force acts.
In other words, the larger the applied force to an object, the higher the acceleration of the object will be.
