Describe a pinhole camera and explain how it forms an image
Answers
Answer:
Hey dude.... A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture, a pinhole camera – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscura effect.

➜ The light from the candle tracked straight in all directions form each points of the flame of the candle
➜ But only the light coming in some particular direction can enter into the camera through its pin hole
➜ Light which comes from the points at the bottom of the flame goes straight through its pin hole
➜ In this way the lights coming in a particular direction form each points of the flame,will be able to enter into the pinhole and lights going in other direction is blocked by the black sheet
➜ This leads to the formation of inverted image on the screen
