Detailed explanation-1: -Developer solution is used in the darkroom for developing (i.e. converting latent image to visible image) x-ray films used in conventional (screen film) radiography.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sodium carbonate is used as an activator. It provides alkaline medium usually above a pH of 11, which is required for hydroquinone to act, and it also softens the gelatin of the emulsion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Developers generally consist of four kinds of chemicals: The Developing Agent The Preservative The Accelerator or Alkali The Restrainer Occasionally, other chemicals, mainly buffers, are added. The action of any developer is a function of how each of these kinds of chemicals is combined.
Detailed explanation-4: -Developing agents are composed of chemical compounds such as hydroquinone or phenidone that can convert exposed grains of silver halide to black metallic silver.
