Why is the image formed by a pinhole inverted?
An inverted image is formed in a pinhole camera because the light rays coming from the top and the bottom of the object intersect at the pinhole.
Is the image on the screen of a pinhole camera back to front?
No.
What is the difference between an optical correct mirror and a rue image mirror?
an optical correct mirror is a normal mirror and a rue mirroer is an mirror that makes you look bad rue means regret.
How does the human eye relate to physics?
The human eye works in a similar way to a pinhole camera with three refinements: a) an adjustable pinhole size controlled by the iris; b) a fixed converging lens across the pinhole called the cornea; c) an adjustable converging lens to focus at different distances, controlled by the brain.
Is a laser an optical device?
it means things like eyes, glasses and the laser used to read dvds
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.
How are pinhole cameras and electromagnetic waves relate to each other?
All types of cameras, pinhole and those using optical lenses, use light which is an electromagnetic radiation
What is the superiority of pinhole camera?
The pinhole camera is simple and requires no complex lens-based optical systems to work effectively as an image maker. In its simplest form it is no more than a light-tight box with a pinhole on one end and a place for a sheet of light sensitive material on the other.
What is confocal microscope?
Confocal microscopy, most frequently confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), is an optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph by means of adding a spatial pinhole placed at the confocal plane of the lens to eliminate out-of-focus light. cited works: wikipedia

How can you safely view a solar eclipse?
Use a pinhole or a dark-filtered optical device to project the sun's image on a light surface,and view the image.
What does optical power mean?
optical power means living
Why pinhole camera has infinite depth of field?
A major advantage of a pinhole over a simple (or not so simple) lens is "infinite depth of field." To see this for yourself poke a pinhole into a thin sheet of opaque material and hold the pinhole close to your eye (if you wear glasses, take them off). Hold one of your fingers a few inches in front of the pinhole and notice that your finger is about the same clarity as everything else beyond. That's infinite depth of field. A more or less scientific explanation for depth of field is that an optical image is made of of very tiny "circles of confusion." When the circles of confusion are small enough, they are called "points" and the optical image is considered to be in focus. Therefore, points of focus. A pinhole camera has infinite depth of field because the pinhole creates circles of confusion the same size as the pinhole all over the inside of the camera, and the little circles of confusion are small enough to be regarded as points of focus. These have a high enough resolution to be acceptable as a coherent image. Photographers can use a small aperture to increase the depth of field, but except for rather uncommon lenses, the depth of field is not very extensive compared to a pinhole image.Source: The Beginner's Guide to Pinhole Photography By Jim Shull
What does an optical engineer invent?
Optical means to “see”. If a person is an optical engineer he/she invents something used to see with.
What is the difference between portable media and optical media?
Portable means easy to carry round, Optical means uses light to make it work. So optical media could be portable.
Why is the image formed by a pinhole inverted?
An inverted image is formed in a pinhole camera because the light rays coming from the top and the bottom of the object intersect at the pinhole.
Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.
