A.

Sodium bicarbonate

B.

Sodium thiosulphate

C.

Sodium hydroxide

D.

Sodium sulphate
 

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) Sodium thiosulphate.

  • Sodium thiosulphate is commonly used in photography as a fixing agent. It is used in the traditional photographic process to remove unexposed silver halide crystals from photographic film and paper, ensuring that the image remains stable.

Information Booster:

  • In photographic processing, Sodium thiosulphate is known as the hypo solution, which is crucial in the fixing process that helps the image to stay intact and prevents further exposure to light.

  • Sodium bicarbonate (Option A) is used in baking and cleaning, but not in photography.

  • Sodium hydroxide (Option C) is a strong base used in cleaning, but is not used directly in photography.

  • Sodium sulphate (Option D) is primarily used in detergents and other industrial applications, not in photography.
