Question

Why do not we get to see an inverted image of the Sun in a pinhole camera ?

Answer 1

Answer:

An inverted image is formed in a pinhole camera because the light rays coming from the top and bottom of the object intersect at the pinhole. Thus, we get an upside down image in a pinhole camera due to linear propagation of light through the hole of the pinhole camera

Answer 2

$\huge{ \mathfrak{\purple{Answer}}}$

• The sun is an extended object, every point of which is radiating light.
• If we send that light through a tiny aperture, then from each point on the sun only a single ray can make it through the pinhole, and an inverted image of the sun will be formed on a screen behind the pinhole.
