Question on: JAMB Physics - 2017

Calculate the light of the image formed by a pinhole camera of length 12cm used to photograph an object 60cm away from the hole and 70cm high

A
10 cm
B
16 cm
C
5 cm
D
14 cm
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D

Magnification = (\frac{\text{Length of camera}}{\text{distance of object from pin hole}})

m = (\frac{12}{60})

= 0.2

Also magnification m = (\frac{\text{Height of image}}{\text{Height of object}})

∴ Height of image = m × height of object

= 0.2 × 70

= 14cm
