- What does a ray model of a pinhole camera look like?

- With photosensitive paper where does light transfer from and to?
- Light transfers Energy from source to absorber.
- What things can absorbed light energy do in a polaroid camera lead to?
- The Energy absorbed can lead to chemical effects such as photosensitive chemicals in photo films.
- What can absorbed light energy lead to in the eye?
- The Energy absorbed can lead to chemical changes in Cells such as those in the back of the eye.- the retinia.
- How does a pinhole camera create a faint image that is in focus?
- A pinhole camera creates a faint image that is in focus because only a single ray can enter the camera so there is not much light so the image is dim, but only image is formed so it is clear (focused) image.
- What can happen to a charged surface when light energy is absorbed?
- When light is absorbed by a charged surface, the charge can leak away.
- Why does having three small holes in a pinhole give three faint images that are in focus?
- With three small holes, a pinhole camera gives three faint image that are in focus.
It works in the same way as a single hole, but a different angle so the images are offset from each other.
- Where is the light reflected in the eye?
- Light is refracted first by the cornea and then by the lens.
- How can a picture be made using a CCD?
- If a charged pixel is exposed to light, then the charge can be measured by a circuit to indirectly measure the amount of light that had fallen on it.
- How does a bigger hole effect the image produced?
- A big hole can be thought of as thousands of small holes joined together. So thousand of images are produced on the screen slightly offset from one another forming a blurred, out of focused image.
