light's acceleration is zero... it neither accelerates or deaccelerates... it's a "constant" speed

The maximum acceleration of a light particle is approx.imately= 4x10^9 meter/sec^2 . Its the highest acceleration relative to the light velocity as measured on earth. It may be higher farout in the Universe.

If light travels at a CONSTANT speed, its acceleration is 0. Any other value would mean it is speeding up or slowing down.
