Silver Bromide Photodecomposition

概述

Silver bromide is more photosensitive than silver chloride and was the primary photosensitive material in photographic film. Blue and UV light excite electrons in the AgBr crystal lattice, reducing silver ions at crystal defects to form a latent image. Chemical development then amplifies these silver clusters.
