Panchromatic film is sensitive to all visible light wavelengths, spanning from ultraviolet to infrared. This sensitivity allows panchromatic film to reproduce a wider range of colors compared to orthochromatic film, which is sensitive to only blue and green light.
The sensor or film inside the camera is sensitive to light. It captures the incoming light to create an image.
You can see the colors in a picture because you are aided by the cones in your retina. Cones are photoreceptor cells that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing you to perceive and distinguish between different colors.
Cones are responsible for photopic vision, meaning they are sensitive to color and provide all high definition vision. They are specifically sensitive to 3 colors of light; Red Green and Blue.
Photographic film is a light-sensitive material used in analog cameras to capture images. It consists of a transparent substrate coated with layers of light-sensitive silver halide crystals. When exposed to light, these crystals form latent images that are later developed into visible images through chemical processing.
When gasoline is mixed with water, it creates a thin film on the surface due to their immiscibility. This film acts as a prism, separating white light into its component colors and creating a rainbow effect. The colors in the rainbow are produced by the light bending and reflecting through the thin film of gasoline and water.
Panchromatic camera is a camera which's sensitive to all colors of light. - R. M. Maran
Panchromatic and Orthochromatic
Orthochromatic, panchromatic, infra-red and x-ray.
Photographic film is by it's very definition sensitive to light. Different types of film is sensitive to different colour spectrum The first types of film had a very limited sensitivity to colours and only reacted to blue light. As technology progressed film was made sensitive to a wider spectrum of light.Orthochromatic film was (is) sensitive to colours from blue to green, thus not sensitive to red light hence not affected by a "red light" during development.This film type was, however, superseded by "Panchromatic" film that is sensitive to all light spectrum, including red light. This means that most (modern) film cannot be developed using a red darkroom light without permanently destroying the film.Copying images (to paper or plastic sheets) is a different matter as the light sensitive emulsion on copy-paper is notsensitive to red light which is why a red light can safely be used during copying and development of the copies.
When Stan Laurel first began making movies, most films were shot in orthochromatic film stock, which didn't register the color blue, the color of Laurel's eyes. Cameraman George Stevens got a hold of a supply of panchromatic film, which was sensitive to more colors, including blue. Stevens, who worked for producer Hal Roach, became Laurel and Hardy's cameraman of choice.
This varies by the material used. Plates cost around $6 (Inflation adjusted), b&w film was around twice that, and colored, panchromatic film cost around $80.
X Ray film emulsions are sensitive to light.
The three colors that our eyes are most sensitive to are red, green, and blue.
they vary. the colors are just light sensitive or heat sensitive
