I'm doing a project for Chemistry on photography. I understand that silver halide crystals in the emulsion layer of the film are sensitive to light, but I don't understand what happens after that? What happens to the grains after the photons hit it? Also, what does this formula mean:
Ag[SUP]+[/SUP]Br[SUP]-[/SUP] (crystal) + hv (radiation) --> Ag[SUP]+[/SUP] + Br+ e[SUP]-[/SUP]
THANKS!
