How camera works
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 5 months ago

 Working of a pinhole camera

  • Place a luminous object such as a burning wick (XY) of the candle in front of the pinhole, an inverted picture X’Y’ of the wick is obtained on the wax paper. This picture is called the image.
  • The image obtained is inverted.
  • Such an image is formed because the light travels in a straight path. Hence, light from the upper point X of the wick passes through the pinhole and strikes the wax paper at X’.
    Similarly, light from the lower point Y of the wick passes through the pinhole and strikes the wax paper (or screen) at Y'.
  • When light from all other points between X and Y passes through the pinhole they strike the wax paper in between X' and Y'. Hence, an inverted image is formed on the wax paper.
