Question

When a photographic film is washed in hypo solution, the chemical that has not reacted on exposure to light is dissolved away and we get a negative film whose dark areas are those places that have been more exposed to light. This process is known as:

• A. washing the film
• B. fixing and film
• C. developing the film
• D. sensitizing paper

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

fixing and film

Photographic fixer is a mix of chemicals used in the final step in the photographic processing of film or paper. The fixer stabilises the image, removing the unexposed silver halide remaining on the photographic film or photographic paper, leaving behind the reduced metallic silver that forms the image.

Hence option B is correct answer.
