Question

Why cannot we see an upside-down image of a ball through the pinhole camera?

• A. None of these
• B. Pinhole camera can only make point size image
• C. Object like sun which is infinite in size, forms point sized or highly diminished image.
• D. Sun is circular in shape, it doesn't affect

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Object like sun which is infinite in size, forms point sized or highly diminished image.

The image formed by a pinhole camera is inverted and smaller in size when compared to the original object.

We don't see the inverted image of a ball because the image is very small and it is highly symmetrical in shape (the ball being spherical and symmetric).
