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.


What will happen to pinhole camera if the object distance is equal to image distance?

the image distance will appear the same


How can the image in a pinhole camera be made bigger?

a pinhole camera has a very small aperture for the light to pass through. Thus the sharp focus distance is very great too. You will get a bigger image if you move your paper or whatever the image lands on, further away from the pinhole.it may not be as bright, though


Why are images upside-down in a pinhole camera?

You can figure out why an image in a pinhole camera is upside down if you think about how the light travels to get to the image. Light from an object higher (or the top of the object) than the camera travels in a straight line down to the camera. It goes through the pinhole and continues heading down until it hits the back of the camera. This means that the image of something higher than the camera is now low in the image. The opposite is true for light from an object lower than the camera (or the bottom of the object): it travels to a point higher in the image. Still does answer my question, how did the image get upside down? answer was no concusive.


What things affect the image of a pinhole camera?

An image made with a pinhole camera can first of all be affected by how much light the paper is exposed to. The longer you keep the hole of the camera uncovered, the more the light will reach the paper, thus affecting how much of an image will be created. If you expose the paper too briefly, the paper might not get exposed enough and as a result when you try to develop the picture there will either be no image or a very faint one. However, if you expose the paper for too long, the image could end up too dark.If there are any areas where light can leak through the camera, that can result in the image being ruined and turning black.The size of the hole might also affect the image. If the hole is not quite big enough, there will not be sufficient light for the paper to be exposed and an image formed. Make sure that the hole is just the right size (the size of the tip of a pin).

Why the image formed on the screen of the pinhole camera is inverted?

The image formed on the screen of the pinhole camera is inverted because the aperture, which is a small hole, bends the light that enters the camera. This basically shows that light travels in straight line.


What are the characteristics of images in a pinhole camera?

The image will be formed upside-down and reversed horizontally on the back of the inside of the camera.


Why is the image formed by a pinhole inverted?

The pinhole camera works based on the principles of light traveling in straight lines. As light passes through the small opening, it creates an inverted image because the upper part of the object is directed downward and vice versa. This inversion occurs due to the way light rays converge and intersect at the pinhole.

Does a Pinhole camera reverse the image as well as invert it?

No


How does a pinhole camera work to capture images?

A pinhole camera works by allowing light to pass through a small hole (the pinhole) and project an inverted image onto a surface inside the camera. The image is then captured by the surface, such as film or a digital sensor, creating a photograph.


What will happen if object distance is decreased in pinhole camera?

If the object distance is decreased in a pin hole camera, the image size will increase. If the object is too close, the full image will not be formed and the screen will appear dark.


What will happen to pinhole camera if the object distance is equal to image distance?

the image distance will appear the same


How can an image through a pinhole camera be made sharper?

Make the hole smaller.


When you made the pinhole camera what way up was the image?

It would be upside down


Why can not we see upside down image of the sun?

You can - use a pinhole camera ( or viewer).


Is the image on the screen of a pinhole camera back to front?

Yes, the image on the screen of a pinhole camera is upside down because of the way light passes through the small aperture and projects onto the film or sensor inside the camera. It is a characteristic of pinhole cameras due to the nature of how light travels through a small hole.
