It used to be the ASA rating, but now its the ISO rating, the higher the number, the more sensitive the film is. e.g. 100 for daylight 400 for nightlight as an example.

What is the significance of the emulsion side of film in the process of developing photographs?

The emulsion side of film is important in developing photographs because it contains light-sensitive chemicals that capture and record the image. When the film is exposed to light, the emulsion side reacts to create a latent image that can be developed into a visible photograph.


What part of the eye is like the emulsion of a camera?

The emulsion on the film of a camera is where the image is focused and captured. In the eye that function is performed by the retina.


Is it true that film is coated with a light-sensitive emulsion?

Yes


What is the difference between direct emulsion and indirect emulsion in screen printing?

In screen printing - Direct emulsion is a liquid substance, that when coated onto a mesh with a scoop coater, dries to form a photosensitive film. Indirect emulsion is a sheet of dry emulsion that is typically adhered to mesh with a solvent. When either emulsion is applied mesh, and is dry, it can be exposed to light and creates a stencil of the art to be printed.


What is the process of applying polaroid emulsion to create instant photographs?

To apply polaroid emulsion and create instant photographs, a chemical mixture is spread onto a film base. When the photo is taken, the emulsion reacts to light and captures the image. The film is then passed through rollers to spread the chemicals evenly, developing the picture within minutes.

What part of eye is like emulsion?

The lens of the eye is similar to emulsion because it helps focus light onto the retina, much like how emulsion focuses light onto the film or digital sensor in a camera. Both the lens and emulsion play important roles in capturing and processing visual information.


What is the difference between asa film and iso film?

ASA and ISO both refer to film speed, or the film's sensitivity to light. ASA is the American standard, while ISO is the international standard. They essentially measure the same thing, which is the film's sensitivity to light, with higher numbers indicating a faster film speed.


What is the standard mixing of photo emulsion and sensitizer?

The standard mixing ratio of photo emulsion and sensitizer is typically 1 part sensitizer to 12 parts photo emulsion. This combination allows for proper light sensitivity and adhesion to the screen mesh for effective screen printing. It is important to mix thoroughly and follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
