Im doing doing a school project on light. I there a light bulb or type of light that distorts pictures or destroy them?
Different types of light bulb will change the appearance of colours in a picture. Look for information on colour temperature of lighting. Flourescent lighting has a higher temperature and has more blue in it than incandescent lighting, so pictures will look colder than when light with old-style bulbs or by daylight. Specialist bulbs can be used to exaggerate this effect: red tinted ones are fairly easy to obtain, and ultraviolet (black light, purple coloured) bulbs such as are used in some nightclubs and in banknote scanners also change the appearance of pictures. Interior designers have to think about the effects of lighting, as it changes through the day from daylight to artificial lighting, when selecting colours and textures. I'm not sure what you mean by destroy. To physically destroy a picture, however, you'll need a very very bright light, bright enough to burn the picture. An industrial laser would do.
