The invention of photographic plates is attributed to several individuals, but the key figure is Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, who created the first successful permanent photograph in the 1820s using a light-sensitive bitumen. However, it was Louis Daguerre who further advanced the technology with the daguerreotype process in 1839, leading to the widespread use of photographic plates. These advancements laid the groundwork for modern Photography.
Photographic plates still darkened when exposed for making spectrograms in areas beyond violet where no visible light could be seen.
Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930 at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona. Tombaugh discovered Pluto by systematically searching for unknown objects in the outer solar system using photographic plates.

Henri Becquerel discovered natural radioactivity in 1896, when he observed that uranium salts emitted rays that could fog photographic plates. This led to further research on radioactivity by Becquerel, Marie Curie, and Pierre Curie.
Clyde Tombaugh, an American astronomer, discovered Pluto in 1930 while working at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona. He used photographic plates taken by the observatory's 13-inch astrograph to identify the dwarf planet.

X-rays will "Fog" photographic plates. That means the plates act as if 'exposed' to light. If the X-rays are intense enough, the plates will appear to be totally exposed.
For photographic plates silver halides are used.

Henri Becquerel performed experiments that involved exposing uranium salts to sunlight and observing their ability to fog photographic plates wrapped in light-proof paper. He discovered that the uranium salts emitted radiation that could penetrate opaque materials and affect photographic plates. This accidental discovery led to the development of the field of nuclear physics.
Henri Becquerel did not discover photographic film. He was a French physicist who discovered radioactivity in 1896. Photographic film was discovered by George Eastman, who founded Kodak, in the late 19th century.

The fogging of the photographic plates that Becquerel observed in 1896 was caused by the emission of invisible, penetrating radiation from the uranium compound he was studying. This radiation interacted with the photographic plates, causing them to become fogged or exposed. This discovery ultimately led to the further investigation of radioactivity.
Henri Becquerel was studying the phenomenon of phosphorescence when he discovered radioactivity. He accidentally found that uranium salts emitted radiation that fogged photographic plates wrapped in opaque paper, leading to the groundbreaking discovery of radioactivity in 1896.
Radioactivity was discovered in 1896 by Henri Becquerel, a French scientist, while testing phosphorescent materials with photographic plates. He discovered that, when the plates were covered with black paper, that phosphorescent materials did not affect the plates until he used uranium salts.
