Function of sodium thiosulphate (hypo) in development of photographic film/plate is to______________?

Correct answer: D. Remove unexposed silver halide

  • A. Brighten the faint images
  • B. Remove metallic silver
  • C. Convert silver chloride to silver
  • D. Remove unexposed silver halide

Explanation

Sodium thiosulphate fixes photographic film by dissolving the unexposed silver halide, while the developed image remains as metallic silver. It therefore does not convert silver chloride into silver or remove the metallic image.
