The image formed by pinhole camera on the screen in the figure is *1 pointerect and enlargedinverted and enlargederect and diminishedinverted and diminished
Solution
The image formed by a pinhole camera is inverted and diminished.
Here's why:
-
A pinhole camera works on the principle of rectilinear propagation of light, which means light travels in straight lines.
-
When light from an object passes through the small hole (aperture), it crosses over and forms an image on the screen inside the camera.
-
Because the light has crossed over, the image formed is inverted (upside down).
-
The image is also diminished (smaller than the object) because the light rays are diverging when they enter the camera. The further away the object, the more the light rays have diverged when they hit the pinhole, and so the smaller the image will be.
