Question

Choose the correct option with respect to the following statements:

Statement 1: The image formed by the pinhole camera is real and erect.

Statement 2: Image formed by the pinhole camera is real because there is refracting or reflecting optical elements to change the path of rays of light.

• A. Only Statement 1 is correct
• B. Only Statement 2 is correct
• C. Both the Statements are correct
• D. Both the statements are wrong

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Both the statements are wrong

Image formed by the pinhole camera is inverted and upside-down. Image formed by the pinhole camera is real. However, it is real because the light rays actually meet on a screen for image formation. Hence, both the statements are wrong.
