Chapter 19, Problem 2CQ
Suppose you have two pinhole cameras. The first has a small round hole in the front of the camera. The second is identical in every regard, except that it has a square hole of the same area as the round hole in the first camera. Would the pictures taken by these two cameras, under the same conditions, be different in any obvious way? Explain.

Suppose you have two pinhole cameras. The first has a small round hole in the front of the camera. The second is identical in every regard, except that it has a square hole of the same area as the round hole in the first camera. Would the pictures taken by these two cameras, under the same conditions, be different in any obvious way? Explain.
You are observing a 20 cm-tall object in a pinhole camera (with a screen at the end like those you used in lab/recitation this week). The screen is 25 cm from the pinhole. The image on the screen is 5 cm tall. (Note: try to do this problem without a calculator since the calculations involved are the type you would be expected to be able to do on an exam without using a calculator.)
1. What can you say about the image?
a. Inverted, Enlarged b. Upright, Reduced c. Inverted, Reduced d. Upright Enlarged
2. How fart from the pinhole is the object in cm?
d=
3. If you moved the object closer to the pinhole, the image on the screen would
a. Stay in focus but decrease in size
b. Stay in focus but increase in size
c. Lose focus

a. Can't determine from the information
b. the 50 cm object would be in focus
c. both objects would be in focus
d. the 75cm object would be in focus

It seems like if you use m=v/u and enter 25 cm for v, then you're saying that the image is 25cm from whatever the rest of the system is in the equation. m is the magnification of the lens, so when you arrive at the value for u, that seems like it should be saying that if you put the iron 8.3 cm from the lens, then it will project the image 25 cm from the lens. Not 25 cm in front of your eyes. I don't understand how the answer ends up applying to the distance to the eyes. Is there some algebra that needs to be done to link the distance from the image to the distance to the eyes? By the way, what do v and u stand for? I know they're distances, but what words do the letters represent?arrow_forward
