Investigating a pinhole camera
Explanation
A pinhole camera can be made by making a tiny
hole (with a pin) in the centre of one side of a card
box.

Investigating a pinhole camera
Explanation
A piece of white baking paper makes a good screen.
It needs to be attached so it covers a large hole cut into the back of the
box.
screen
The baking paper is translucent: it lets some light through.
So the image made on the inside of the box can be seen by looking
through the back.
Investigating a pinhole camera
Explanation
An image will only be visible if enough light hits the screen.
Much more light will hit the screen from bright, luminous objects than from
dim or non–luminous objects.
Bright bulb filaments or LEDs make good objects to observe.
Dimming the room lights can also help make the image on the screen
more visible. There will be a bigger contrast between a dim image on
the screen and the surroundings.
Investigating a pinhole camera
Explanation
1. Observe and Record the size and brightness of the image
compared to the bulb. Identify how it appears on screen

3. Make a second identical pinhole next to the first one.
Describe the new image you see and compare it to the image
made with one pinhole.

Summary UAE IDENTITY
Modern cameras are far more advanced
in terms of image quality, easy to use,
versatility, and accessibility compared
to early cameras, enabling
photographers in the UAE to capture
stunning images of their unique
surroundings, from skyscrapers to the
desert, with ease and creativity.
Summary Plenary – GL Assessment
In a pinhole camera, if the distance of the object from the pinhole is
increased, which of the following will occur?
A) The size of the image decreases, and the image becomes blurrier.
B) The size of the image increases, and the image becomes sharper.
C) The size of the image increases, but the image becomes blurrier.
D) The size of the image decreases, but the image becomes sharper.
Summary Plenary – GL Assessment
Answer:
B) The size of the image increases, and the image becomes sharper.
Explanation:
In a pinhole camera, as the object moves farther from the pinhole, the image size increases due
to the geometric relationship between the object and image distances. Additionally, the sharpness
of the image improves if the object is at an optimal distance, assuming the pinhole size remains
constant.
