Photography is based on the nature of silver halides. Except AgF, the silver halides are photosensitive. These undergo decomposition in light and turn black due to formation of free silver.
`2AgBroverset(light)to2Ag+Br_2`
The photography films are prepared by adding `20%` aqueous solution of `AgNO_3` to `NH_4Br` solution containing gelatin. When such a film is exposed, emulsion gets affected and a latent image is formed on the film.
When this exposed film or plate is dipped in a developer which contains a reducing agent, the part affected most during exposure are reduced to the maximum. The image becomes visible. It is called a negative. The remaining sensitive emulsion on the negative is removed by dissolving it in hypo solution (fixer). Finally, a positive of the negative already prepared is made on silver bromide paper.
Q. The compound formed on the unexposed photographic film or plate is

A

silver nitrate

B

ammonium bromide

C

diamminesilver bromide

D

silver bromide
