Shakespeare´s Works Ant. & Cl = Antony and Cleopatra. Pinhole Camera. Owing to the rectilinear propagation of light it is possible to cast on any white screen an inverted and diminished picture of the scene lying in front of the screen by interposing between screen and scene an opaque baffle having a small pinhole made in it. Thus, in the bottom sketch following screen A is illuminated by light coming from the right through the pinhole in the baffle B. As each point on the screen can receive light from only one point in the scene on the right, the various points on the screen will conform in brightness, colour and position with the corresponding points in the scene; and in the aggregate they will form an inverted picture of the scene. If all other light is prevented from reaching the screen, this picture will relatively btilliant, and the arrangement would form a camera because a permanent record of the scene could be made by introducing a photographic film or plate in lieu of the screen. The brilliance of the image can be increased by enlarging the pinhole, and this will be helpful in diminishing the time that the photographic plate must be exposed. Nevertheless, a larger hole gives an image less sharply defined, so the picture may turn out to be rather blurred. Usu Elmann music with Fandom film.
