Pinhole Camera Video Lecture | Class 6 All Subjects (Old NCERT)

Ans. A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens, where a small hole (pinhole) is used to project an inverted image onto a surface inside the camera.

Ans. A pinhole camera works on the principle of light passing through a small hole and forming an image on a surface placed opposite to the hole. The image formed is inverted due to the nature of light rays.

Ans. To make a pinhole camera, you will need a lightproof container (such as a shoebox), a piece of aluminum foil, a sharp pin or needle to make the pinhole, a small piece of photographic paper, and tape to hold everything together.

Ans. To make a pinhole camera, follow these steps: 1. Take a shoebox and paint it black inside to make it lightproof. 2. Cut a small square in one end of the box for the pinhole. 3. Cover the square hole with aluminum foil and secure it with tape. 4. Use a pin or needle to make a tiny hole in the center of the foil. 5. Tape a piece of photographic paper on the opposite end of the box. 6. Close the box and make sure it is lightproof. 7. Take the pinhole camera outside and remove the tape covering the pinhole. 8. Point the pinhole towards the subject you want to capture and cover the pinhole again after a few seconds. 9. Develop the photographic paper to see the image captured by the pinhole camera.

Ans. With a pinhole camera, you can explore the basics of photography and understand how light interacts with the camera. You can capture unique and artistic photographs using the pinhole camera's characteristic soft focus and wide-angle view. It can be a fun and educational project for students and photography enthusiasts to experiment with different pinhole sizes and exposure times to create various effects in their photographs.
