A pinhole camera is a simple device that can be used to project an image of the sun without the need for lenses. It consists of a dark box or tube with a tiny hole (the pinhole) on one end and a surface (like photographic paper or a screen) on the opposite end to capture the image. When sunlight passes through the pinhole, it creates an inverted image of the sun on the surface inside the camera. This method is safe for observing the sun, as it prevents direct eye exposure to harmful rays.

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.


When Using a pinhole camera with a distance of 1 m between camera and projection screen how large would you expect the image of the sun to be?

In a pinhole camera, the size of the image is determined by the size of the aperture and the distance to the projection screen. Given that the diameter of the Sun is approximately 1.4 million kilometers and its average distance from Earth is about 150 million kilometers, the size of the image can be calculated using similar triangles. At a distance of 1 meter from the pinhole to the screen, the image of the Sun would be quite small, roughly around 0.0093 meters or 9.3 millimeters in diameter.
