GUESS NOT, but if you have an oscillating magnetic field that is on the same frequency as a certain color of light, could it influnce it then possibly?

another thought, if i pulse electricity through an electromagnet, does it have any useful effect?

I don't have any answers for you but I do have a book recommendation.

Yes.
And it is.

But you need very powerful fields to affect it.
Don't bother getting the coils and the batteries out.

But you could find an old television picture tube and fool around with it.

CAREFULLY. They tend to implode if not handled respectfully Exclamation

They're electrons inside the tube that are affected by the magnetic coils on the outside.
Not photons.

Only particles that carry an electromagnetic charge can be influenced by an electromagnetic field. A photon carries no electromagnetic charge.

An electron could ABSORB or EMIT a photon, they can interact in that way.
