📷A pinhole camera is a simple camera that uses a small hole to project an image onto a screen, allowing you to see the world upside down.
🌍The pinhole camera demonstrates the physics of light and how our eyes perceive the world. It shows how the lens of our eyes helps to focus and flip the image.
🔍Creating a pinhole camera involves constructing a tube using card sheets, adding a pinhole, and covering one end with a piece of baking paper. The smaller tube is inserted into the bigger tube, creating an adjustable focal length.
☀️To use the pinhole camera, hold it up to your eye and look through the pinhole towards a bright object. The image will slowly come into focus, revealing an inverted view.
🔍🌍The pinhole camera experiment helps us understand the relationship between the shape of the lens and the way we perceive images. Our brain compensates for the inverted image, allowing us to see the world right-side up.
