Does a pinhole camera form an image or a shadow of an object? Justify your answer.

A pinhole camera forms an image of an object. The image is the region where light coming from the object is focussed by the pinhole on to a screen. The image formed by a pinhole camera is inverted compared to the object, but it has the same colour as the object. In addition, the image has all the details of the object. Hence, we can confirm that a pinhole camera forms an image, not a shadow.
