In theory yes, by "bombarding" atoms with the right photons, you can alter it's structure. However, it's not practically possible.

How do you make a smaller and sharper shadow when you cannot move the object?
Manipulate the light around it.
When the atoms of an object vibrate at the same frequency as light rays what happens to the rays?
they are asorbed.
What does incident light that falls on an object do to the electrons in the atoms of an object?
When a photon of energy falls on an electron bound inside an atom, the electron absorbs the energy and is emitted from the atom.
How do objects reflect light to show different colors?
In the visible spectrum of light, all colors have difference frequencies of wave lengths. So, an object that is green would absorb all the frequencies of light with in the spectrum except green, the light reflected from the object then hits our retina and then our brain tells us to interpret that object to be green. The frequencies that are absorbed in to the object are then converted into energy. That's why when you wear black cloths, black absorbs all visible light, you feel warmer, because the light it absorbs is converted into heat. And white would the opposite from that. If you are wondering why they would reflect that certain color, it is because all atoms and molecules have electrons. Electrons in atoms have a natural frequency that they vibrate when light hits them. The light with the same frequency as the natural frequency of the electrons in the atoms would be reflected.
When light encounters a material it can build up vibrations in the electrons of certain atoms that may be intense enough to last over a long period of time. Will the energy of these vibrations tend...?
When a light wave hits an object, what happens to it depends on the energy of the light wave. The waves can be reflected or scattered off the object; waves can be absorbed by the object; waves can be refracted through the object; waves can pass through the object with no effect.

Is it possible to make an object without shadow?
no its not. since when light falls on the (object) it will create a shadow.
When the atoms of an object vibrate at the same frequency as light rays what happens to the rays?
they are asorbed.
What determines how well light passes through an object?
1. The configuration of the atoms or molecules in the medium 2. The composition of the atoms or molecules (the configuration of their orbitals, which determines what frequencies of light they can absorb) 3. Magnitude of the vibration of the atoms or molecules in the medium
What makes gold shiny?
Light is composed of very small packages of electromagnetic energy called photons. We are able to see objects because light photons from the sun (or other light source) reflect off of the atoms within the object and some of these reflected photons reach the light sensors in our eyes and we can see the objects. It takes many millions of photons entering our eyes each second for us to view the world. When photons of light hit the atoms within an object three things can happen. First, the photons can bounce back from the atoms in the object; we call this reflection. Second, the photons can pass through an object such as glass and we call them transparent. Three, the photons can be stopped by the atoms within the object and the photon energy is converted to heat; we call this absorption.
How do you make liquid light?
you cant. you can create a liquid that produces light, but because "light" is the photons from an object entering your eye, to create this liquid light ie liquid photons, the photons wouldnt leave the liquid and thus enter your eye.
What does incident light that falls on an object do to the electrons in the atoms of an object?
When a photon of energy falls on an electron bound inside an atom, the electron absorbs the energy and is emitted from the atom.
What is a Natural phenomenon where particles from solar activity interact with atoms in earths atmosphere to create bands of light?
color

Is it true that you see an object when light from it hits your eyes?
Yes, that is correct. Please note that the object itself doesnt create the light - it mearly relfects the ambient light (which, for example, comes from light blubs or the sun). It is this reflected light that the eye picks up and - with help from the brain - interprets into an image which we "see".
What is radiation or reflecting light?
When an object is radiating light, it means that the object produces light. When an object is reflecting light, it means that light "bounces off" the surface of that object.
