Within Alhazen's 'Book of Optics', which mechanism explained image formation as projection through a pinhole?

💡 Explanation

The camera obscura principle explains how light rays travel in straight lines through a small hole, therefore projecting an inverted image onto a surface, because of rectilinear propagation, rather than diffusion that would blur the image.
