Questions and Answers

What is the first step of the photochemical process in the formation of a latent image?

  • The development of the film
  • The production of the emulsion
  • The production of the latent image (correct)
  • The formation of the silver bromide crystal
  • What is the purpose of the gelatin in the silver bromide emulsion?

  • To act as a solvent for the silver bromide
  • To provide a protective coating for the film
  • To create electron traps within the silver bromide crystal (correct)
  • To act as a binder for the silver bromide particles
  • What is the purpose of the bromine ions in the silver bromide crystal structure?

  • To provide the positive charge for the ionic lattice
  • To absorb the photons during exposure
  • To provide the negative charge for the ionic lattice (correct)
  • To occupy the center of the crystal structure

    Which of the following statements is true about the interaction of photons with bromine ions in a crystal?

    <p>Interactions occur at the bromine ions because they are located on the surface of the crystal, releasing high energy electrons through photoelectric and Compton interactions.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    According to the Gurney-Mott theory, what happens when an electron is captured by a trapping center?

    <p>A mobile positively charged silver ion migrates to this center and forms an unstable silver atom when combined with the electron.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    According to the Mitchell theory, what is the sequence of events that leads to the formation of a stable-atom speck (latent sub-image center)?

    <p>A free electron and a silver ion approach a shallow electron trap together and immediately form a silver atom, which then acquires a second silver ion and a free electron to become stable.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the main difference between the Gurney-Mott theory and the Mitchell theory in terms of the formation of a stable-atom speck (latent sub-image center)?

    <p>In the Gurney-Mott theory, the stable-atom speck is formed directly, while in the Mitchell theory, it is formed through a series of steps involving a shallow electron trap.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What happens to the crystal lattice formation and the ions in the crystal after exposure, according to the text?

    <p>The crystal lattice formation is disrupted, and the ions in the crystal are now free to migrate and move around.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the growth process in the formation of a development center?

    <p>The growth process is the enlargement of sub-image centers until they become development centers, which require at least 10 silver atoms.</p> Signup and view all the answers
