Study Notes
The Eye and the Camera
- The eye and digital cameras, such as pinhole cameras, both create images.
- Light reflects off an object.
- The cornea focuses the light
- The pupil controls the amount of light entering the eye.
- The lens further focuses light onto the retina.
- The image produced on the retina is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.
- Photoreceptors (rods and cones) in the retina absorb light to cause a chemical reaction which produces an electrical signal sent via the optic nerve to the brain.
- The brain interprets the inverted image correctly.
- Digital cameras have a grid of photosensitive pixels (CCD) that create an electrical charge when light hits them.
- The inverted image on the camera's sensor is then flipped to be viewed correctly.
- The eye and camera both create a reversed/inverted image.
- The eye and digital cameras are able to relay the image to the brain in a similar way.
