(i) It is a camera with a single lens.
(ii) It produces an upside down image of object.
(iii) It does not have a screen.
(iv) It works because light travels in a straight line.
(v) It forms real and colourless shadows of objects.

Explanation

A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture. A pinhole is effectively a light proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an invested image on the opposite side of the box.
The image of a pinhole camera may be projected onto a translucent screen for real time viewing.

A good source of energy would be the one which would do a _______ amount of work per unit volume of mass. Any source of energy we use to do work is consumed & _______ used again.

  1. larger, can be

  2. smaller, can be

  3. larger, cannot be

  4. smaller, cannot be
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A good source of energy would be the one which would do a larger amount of work per unit volume of mass. Any source of energy we use to do work is consumed & cannot be used again.
A good source of energy should have the following characteristics:
  1. It should do a large amount of work per unit mass or volume - it means that the output energy must be more than the input energy. It should have high calorific value.
  2. It should be easily accessible - the energy source should be able to provide energy over a long period of time. Example: coal and petroleum.
  3. Should be easy to store and transport - most common sources of energy such as coal, petrol and LPG need to be transported to users from their points of production. They also need proper storage. Thus it is important to store and transport these sources safely and economically.
  4. Safe and convenient to use - energy sources should be safe as it is used by a large number of people and should be convenient.
