  1. Pinhole Experiments Scott + Harrison

  2. Purpose - To investigate the relationship between object distance and image height while image distance and object height are constant. - To investigate the relationship between object height and image height while object distance and image distance are constant - To investigate the relationship between image distance and and image height while maintaining a constant object height and object distance - To investigate the effects on the image by increasing the diameter of the pinhole and creating more than one pinholes

  3. Hypothesis - If we decrease the object distance, then the image height will increase. - If we increase the object height, the image height will increase - If we increase the image distance, then the object distance will increase - If we increase the number of pinholes, multiple images will form - If we increase the diameter of the hole, the image will be less focused

  4. Equipment/Diagram Light source for holding cards, pinhole camera (a box with one end open and the other with a translucent screen inside a larger box with one end open and a square hole in the other), arrow cards, meter stick, aluminum foil

  5. Procedure • Cover a hole with aluminum foil and poke a hole with a pin in it. • Face the pinhole at a bright object (not necessarily a lightbulb). • Set a screen behind the pinhole for the image to be projected on. • Vary the distance of the object from the pinhole, while keeping the image distance from the pinhole and object height constant. • Vary the distance of the screen (thus the image) from the pinhole, while keeping the object distance and object height constant. • Vary the height of the object (arrow), while keeping the image distance and object distance constant. • Poke some more pinholes and observe the effect. • Increase the size of a pinhole and observe the effect.

  6. Hi vs Do Hi is proportional to 1/Do

  7. Exp 1 Mathematical Analysis + Error Exp 1: Image Height-->Hi, Object Distance-->Do, (Di and Ho are held constant) Hi α 1/Do Hi = k*1/Do k = 0.01455m^2 (calc by Logger Pro) Hi = 0.01455m^2 * 1/Do hi = h0*di * (1/d0), slope = h0*di = .085 m*.165 m = .01403 m2 Accepted Value= .01403 m2 Experimental Value= .01455 m2 Absolute Error = | Acc-Exp | Absolute Error=| .01403 m2- .01455 m2| Absolute Error= .00052 m2 Relative Error= Abs /Acc Relative Error= .00052 m2 / .01403 m2 Relative Error= 3.71%

  8. Hi vs Di Hi is proportional to Di

  9. Exp 2 Mathematical Analysis + Error Exp 2: Image Height-->Hi, Image Distance--> Di, (Do and Ho are held constant) Hi α Di Hi = k* Di k = 0.1543m/m (calc by Logger Pro) Hi = 0.1543m/m * Ho h0 = .085 m, h0 = .56 m hi = h0/d0* di, slope = h0/d0 = .085 m/.56 m = .1518 Accepted Value= .1518 Experimental Value= .1543 Absolute Error = | Acc-Exp | Absolute Error=| .1518- .1543| Absolute Error= .0025 Relative Error= Abs /Acc Relative Error= .0025 / .1518 Relative Error= 1.65%

  10. Hi vs Ho Hi is proportional to Ho

  11. Exp 3 Mathematical Analysis + Error Exp 3: Image Height-->Hi, Object Height-->Ho Hi α Ho Hi = k* Ho k = 0.8527m/m (calc by Logger Pro) Hi = 0.8527m/m * Ho Exp 3 Image Height vs Object Height di = .165 m, di = .20 m, d0 = .56 m hi = di/d0 * h0, slope = di/d0 = .165 m/.20 m = .8250 Accepted Value= .8527 Experimental Value= .8250 Absolute Error = | Acc-Exp | Absolute Error=| .8250- .8527| Absolute Error= .0277 Relative Error= Abs /Acc Relative Error= .0277 / .8250 Relative Error= 3.36%

  12. Similar Triangle Proof

  13. Increasing Object Distance, Decrease Image Height Ray Diagrams Original All ray diagrams are based on idea that light travels as a straight line. If we increase the image height, we increase the image distance If we increase the object height, we increase the image height.
