During formation of the latent image, irregularities in the lattice structure of the exposed crystal, known as ____, attract silver atoms.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensitivity specks are irregularities in the lattice structure of the crystal that are more sensitive to radiation exposure. These specks attract silver ions, leading to the formation of the latent image. The protective layer, adhesive layer, and emulsion all play important roles in the structure of the film, but they do not directly contribute to the formation of the latent image.
