    Study Notes

    Pinhole Cameras

    • Light is emitted from every point on a light source in all directions.
    • Light travels in straight lines.
    • A small pinhole only allows light to pass through in one direction from each point on a light source.
    • Light rays from one point on a source only light up one part of the screen.
    • This creates a clear image of the object on the screen.
    • The image produced by a pinhole camera is inverted (upside down and back to front).
