Question

A pinhole camera is a camera such that light from an object simply passes through a tiny hole into a dark box, and an image is projected onto the other side of the box. When a pinhole camera is used to produce an image of a distant object, what are the characteristics of the image?

Solution

The image produced by a pinhole camera is usually smaller than the object and appears to be inverted on both the vertical and horizontal axis when compared to the actual object. The image itself can be called "real" because it is visible on the screen.
