Photos or images are made in Photoshop in pixels. Pixel is the smallest square unit of image. 72 pixels per inch means crossing 72 lines upwards and horizontally in the space of each inch. The total number of pixels per square inch will be 72'72 = 5184. The number of pixels per inch is called resolution.
If 130 is typed in the box of pixel, the resolution will be 130'130:M6900. If an image is enlarged, the pixels could be visible. This view is called pixelated. In simple words, it is called split image.
