Question

What is the nature of image formed in a pinhole camera ?

Answer 1

The characteristics of an image produced by a pinhole camera The image produced by a pinhole camera is usually smaller than the object and appears to be inverted on both the vertical and horizontal axis when compared to the actual object. The image itself can be called "real" because it is visible on the screen. Characteristics of the image: generally smaller than the object vertical inversion (upside-down) horizontal inversion (symmetric) real The behaviour of light The rays coming from the object which pass through the pinhole must converge in order to cross at the level of the hole. Then, once inside the pinhole, the rays diverge. The vertical and horizontal inversions of the image when compared to the object can thus be explained by simple geometric logic. The analysis of the image produced by a pinhole camera demonstrates the rectilinear propagation of light.

Answer 2

The nature of the object formed by a pinhole camera is real and inverted
