Don't Buy a Camera, Just Make One!

For our first action project from Unit 1 of Light, Sound, and Time, we created a pinhole camera. This unit, we focused on what light is, and what makes it the way it is. We studied the way light travels in the air, and what happens when it bends. Using our knowledge, we experimented with light by using the pinhole cameras we made. Unfortunately, I was not present for most of this unit, and I was not able to complete this project. This means that I do not have a photograph to show. However, I do have a slideshow of how I made my pinhole camera, and how you can make one. The slideshow below also includes the work I have done to prepare for taking the photo.

I hope that I can complete this blog by using my pinhole camera to take a photo of the subject I have chosen. I am really interested in seeing how the different colors of the wax will translate on the photo paper. When I take the photo, I will add to the existing work I have here. Thank you for reading my blogpost.
CALCULATIONS
Smaller Triangle: Hypotenuse : 7.334 In.
a^2 + b^2 = c2 2.1875^2 + 7^2 = c^2 >> 4.7852+49 = c^2 >> 53.7852 = c^2 >> square root both 53.7852 and c^2 >>
7.334 = c - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Height of pinhole to ground : 2.1875 In.
4.375/2 = 2.1875

a^2 + b^2 = c2 10.25^2 + 32.8^2 = c^2 >> 105.0625 + 1,075.84 = c^2 >> 1,180.9025 = c^2 >> square root of both 1,180.9025 and c^2 >>
34.3643 =  c - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Distance of Subject from Paper : 32.8 In. 10.25/2.1875 = 4.68587 >> 4.68587 x 7 = 32.8

Lower Angle:  10.25/32.8 = 0.3125 >> (0.3125)^tan-1 = 17.35
Upper Angle: 32.8/10.25 = 3.2 >> (3.2)^tan-1 = 72.65
