Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Silver halide crystals with more than three silver atoms on their sensitivity specks can be developed, meaning that the exposed areas of the film will turn black or grey as the excess silver atoms are reduced to metallic silver during the developing process. Ripening refers to the process in which small, unstable silver halide crystals combine to form larger, more stable ones. Washing away or clearing would not apply in this context.
