Right Answer is: A

SOLUTION

  • Photographic film is a strip of transparent plastic film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion.
  • It contains small light-sensitive silver halide crystals.
  • It is used to record pictures.
  • The light sensitivity of the silver halides is key to the photographic process, that's why silver chloride, silver bromide and silver iodide, are used to make photographic film.
