 what is a pinhole camera?

• A pinhole camera, also known as a camera obscura, is

a simple optical device that captures images by
allowing light to pass through a small hole and project
an inverted image onto a surface located on the
opposite side of the hole. It's one of the earliest forms
of photography and is a precursor to modern cameras.
• Pinhole photography is photography without a lens. A
small hole replaces the lens. Light passes through the
hole; an image is formed in the camera. Pinhole
cameras are small or quite large
 what it’s working principle?

• Light Rays and Straight-line Propagation: Light travels

in straight lines. When a scene is illuminated, light rays
from different parts of the scene radiate in various
directions.
What is the characteristic of image formed by the pinhole?

• When light rays from the scene outside pass through

the small hole, they continue in straight lines. These
rays create an image of the scene on the opposite
interior surface of the camera (the back of the box),
which acts as the projection surface. The image formed
on the back surface is inverted and reversed left-to-
right compared to the actual scene.
