Re: [Phys-l] pinhole camera



When giving a qualitative definition for real images in geometric optics, I usually say that they are created by light rays and are thus projectable on a screen. This is compared to virtual images that are formed by apparent projections of light rays. Thus it would appear to me that the image from a pinhole camera is a real image.
