Best Answer

A pinhole and a camera both determine how much light comes through to make a picture, if there isn't enough light in you photo . The photo wont show.

How the first camera works?

The first cameras were pinhole cameras. They worked by the light from the image on the outside enters through the pinhole and flips it on to the film on the inside and the film captures it.

How does the size of the hole in pinhole camera effect the quality of the image?

In a pinhole camera, the size of the hole has the same effect as the aperture setting on a more traditional camera. The size of the hole, combined with its distance from the film or sensor, controls the depth of field of the image and the length of exposure needed. Smaller holes will result in greater depth of field (to a point) and longer exposure. To compare a pinhole camera to a traditional camera, the distance from the film to the pinhole gives you the focal length, the size of the pinhole divided by the distance to the film gives you the effective aperture which can be used to determine the exposure needed. The reason that I included the "to a point" when discussing depth of field is that the pinhole must be in a very thin material and should be blackened in order to limit loss of sharpness due to diffraction. Diffraction also contributors to a loss of sharpness in traditional lenses when stopped down past f16 or so.

What kind of image is formed by a pinhole camera?

Think in terms of ray tracing. Light travels in a straight line in a pinhole camerabecause there is no refracting or reflecting optical element to change the path of the rays of light. The bottom of the film is on the line passing through the pinhole and top of the object. Since all light must pass through the pinhole, that means the top of the object exposes the bottom of the film.

Pinhole camera and human eye similarities?

I think a pinhole camera is similar to the human eye because like the pinhole camera when it sees something it reflects the image but it is an inverted image. With the human eye the brain corrects it and turns it the right way up. The pinhole cameras image is not corrected because it does not have a lens.
