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.

Description

Explore the similarities between the human eye and digital cameras through this quiz. Learn how both systems capture and process light to create images, focusing on the roles of various components like the lens and retina in the eye, and the sensor in cameras. Challenge your understanding of how images are formed and interpreted in both cases.
