Which optical consequence resulted from Ibn al-Haytham using pinhole apertures?

💡 Explanation

When Ibn al-Haytham used pinhole apertures, image formation occurred demonstrating rectilinear propagation because light travels in straight lines casting an inverted image. Therefore, formation demonstrated straight light paths rather than chromatic effects, polarization, or alteration of light dispersion mechanisms which weren't his specific target.
