Three experiments showing how your pinhole camera works

Experiment 1

(a) It is up side down

(b) Very light color, as far as I can tell

(c) Not the same size

Experiment 2

(a) The close the pinhole camera the larger the image, and the farther the smaller the image

(b) The farther the pinhole camera the more clear the image is

Experiment 3

When there are two pinholes, there are two images

Experiment 4

(a) Brighter

(b) Fuzzier

(c) Bigger

Experiment 5

We put the lenses on the outside of the box, but in general the lenses were to help make the image more clear, because they can focus the light and make it clearer.

Experiment 6

1. The window will show because the light of the sun make it stand out in a dark room

2. We sat someone in front of the window, but we could only make out their silhouette

3. Lenses helped focus the light, the closer the lens, the more focused the images, but the smaller, while the farther the lens the bigger the images, but the fuzzier

Questions

1. The inside of the camera needed to be black to absorb the light

2. We did not use a light shield, but the light shield would be for keeping unwanted light out, and from keeping the light inside from leaving (as far as I understand).

3. The lens can focus the light so that it is in a beam, and not all over the place, giving a clearer image.
