Pinhole Camera. A pinhole camera is just a rectangular box with a tiny hole in one face. The film is on the face opposite this hole, and that is where the image is formed. The camera forms an image without a lens. (a) Make a clear ray diagram to show how a pinhole camera can form an image on the film without using a lens. ( Hint: Put an object outside the hole, and then draw rays passing through the hole to the opposite side of the box.) (b) A certain pinhole camera is a box that is 25 cm square and 20.0 cm deep, with the hole in the middle of one of the 25 cm × 25 cm faces. If this camera is used to photograph a fierce chicken that is 18 cm high and 1.5 m in front of the camera, how large is the image of this bird on the film? What is the lateral magnification of this camera?

Activity
1. Use ray diagrams to find the image position and magnification for an object at each of the following
distances from a converging lens with a focal length of 20 cm: (a) 20 cm; (b) 15 cm;
2. A beam of parallel rays spreads out after passing through a thin diverging lens, as if the rays all came from a
point 40.0 cm from the center of the lens. You want to use this lens to form an erect, virtual image that is the
1/3 height of the object. (a) Where should the object be placed? Where will the image be? (b) Draw a principal-
ray diagram.
