Question

Pinhole camera forms an image that is _________.

• A. real and inverted
• B. virtual and erect
• C. virtual and inverted
• D. real and erect

Answer 1

The correct option is A real and inverted

The pinhole camera is the simplest kind of camera. It does not have a lens. It just makes use of a tiny opening (a pinhole-sized opening) to focus all light rays within the smallest possible area to obtain an image, as clearly as possible. The simple image formed using a pinhole camera is always real(as it is obtained on a screen) and inverted.
