Question

State whether true or false.
The pin-hole camera demonstrates how light can form images of objects.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint: We are given the statement that the pin-hole camera demonstrates how light can form images of objects. First understand what a pin-hole camera is and understand how the working of a pin-hole camera and check whether an image can be formed using it. Then analyze whether the given statement is true or false.

Complete answer:
Given a statement, the pin-hole camera demonstrates how light can form images of objects.First let us know what a pin-hole camera is. Pin-hole camera is a simple camera in the shape of a box without any lens. It has a tiny opening on one side of the box, light enters through this tiny hole and forms an image on the opposite side of the box.
The image formed on the opposite side is an inverted image. That is, if an object is kept in front of the tiny hole, then light passes through the hole and an inverted image of the object is formed on the opposite side of the tiny hole.Therefore, a pin-hole camera demonstrates how light can form images of objects.
Hence, the answer is option A.

Note: There are some characteristics of the image formed in a pin-hole camera, these are;
-The image formed is real and inverted.
-The size of the image formed is smaller than the actual size of the object.
-We can use the image formed to analyze rectilinear propagation of light.
