    Study Notes

    Properties of Images Formed by a Pinhole Camera

    • Image is diminished in size
    • Image is inverted
    • Image is real
    • Image is not laterally inverted
    • Image gets blurred as the size of the pinhole increases

    Advantages of Pinhole Camera

    • Infinite depth of focusing, resulting in clear images regardless of object distance
    • No need for focusing adjustments

    Disadvantages of Pinhole Camera

    • Image formation takes a long time due to limited light entering the small pinhole
    • Camera must be covered with black cloth to prevent light from entering through sides and edges

    Formation of Shadows

    • Opaque objects block light, resulting in darkness behind them
    • Two types of shadows:
      • Umbra: complete or total shadow formed when an object is placed in the path of light from a point source
