Pinhole camera

- image formed is inverted (upside down) as compared to the object.

- image formed is real (because it can be formed on a screen) and of the same colour as the object.

- Image can be smaller than the object, equal to the object or bigger than the object (depending on the distance of object from the pinhole camera).

- Is inexpensive to make

- works on the principle of rectilinear motion of light
