Why when moving away from a lightbulb toward a wall does your shadow on the wall become sharper and sharper?

Reflection: light reflects off surfaces. If you are far away from the wall, light can still arrive at the wall by reflecting off other walls. Therefore your shadow is both 1) not as dark and 2) relatively indistinct. If you are close to it, then much of this reflected light is blocked, and you get a sharper shadow.

Why does a point light give a sharp shadow?

A point light, being infinitely small, will always give a perfectly sharp shadow, because it is always completely visible or obstructed. Unlike in blender internal, there is no way to have shadows projected through spot lights – shadows in cycles occur naturally through the obstruction of light source.

Can a soft light be used to cast a shadow?

Even with a large soft light source, you can cast shadows if the object you are using is close enough to the surface that you want to shadow. When shooting a scene, the shadow-casting object can be just out of the shot, getting it close enough to the scene that the shadow it is casting is sharp and clear.

Why do fluorescent lights produce a faint shadow?

It does have a shadow – but it is very faint. When you have a point source of light, it casts a strong shadow (which is really an image of the object casting the shadow). As the source of light becomes larger (“extended” is the word) then you end up with a shadow that is made up of “lots of overlapping shadows” – which makes the edges seem blurry.
