Textbook Question
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.

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
Problem 99.
A) How is a good single-lens camera (one that can be "focused") able to take clear pictures of objects that are a variety
of distances from the camera?
B) How is the eye able to place clear images on the retina of objects that are a variety of distances from the eye?
C) For a fixed focus camera to take clear pictures, the object distance must satisfy a certain inequality. What is this
inequality?
D) Why does the nearpoint increase as people age?

b. stay in focus but increase in size
c. lose focus
2. If you were looking at two objects, one 50 cm from the pinhole and one 75 cm from the pinhole, which object would be in 'focus' on the screen?
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
3. If you increased the size of the pinhole (so now no longer a pinhole), the image on the screen would
