Light is redshifted/blueshifted when travels in gravity by an amount proportional to the gravitational field, as if it had effective mass . The photon acquires mass inside a superconductor making the electromagnetic interaction of a short range https://www.nature.com/news/photons-pair-up-like-superconducting-electrons-1.22868. . Note that photons in vacuum are massless. Could we say light also acquires charge when moving under gravity so that its radiation power is given by some Larmor-like power? If that is so then the photon charge will be equal to the Planck charge.
