Calculate the height 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

Correct answer is 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
