Question

The image formed by the pinhole camera is always upside down.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Light always travels in a straight line.
2. Light from the top of the object after passing through the pinhole reaches the bottom of the camera screen and light from the bottom of the object passing through the pinhole reaches the top of the screen.
3. Thus we get an upside-down image in a pinhole camera due to the linear propagation of light through the hole.

Hence, the above statement is true.
