Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
If the size of the hole in a pinhole camera is increased, the image formed becomes blurred and larger. This happens because a larger hole allows more light to enter, creating a larger image. However, the increased size also causes a wider range of rays from different points to converge, resulting in a loss of sharpness and a blurred image. Thus, the image is both larger and blurrier.
