Question

WHY IMAGES ARE seen IN REVERSE ON THE PINHOLE CAMERA?

Answer 1

In a pinhole camera, the light beams, which come from the object, intersect at the hole or near. Due to this, the beam coming from the top of the object gets below the beam coming from the bottom of the object. These beams finally, reach to the screen and the image is seen inverted.

To understand this phenomenon better, take a paper and draw a line on it. Now mark a point on it. From this point, draw two lines such that if you turn your copy, the two lines form an "X" shape.

You can see now, that the line which is above the center line, after intersection from the point gets below the center line. Consider the line as the hole.

The same phenomenon works with the pinhole camera.

Hope you got your answer.
