उत्तर
Sunlight
Decomposition of silver chloride or silver bromide when exposed to sunlight. Silver chloride decomposes to give silver and chlorine whereas silver bromide gives silver and bromine. These reactions are used in black and white photography.
\[\ce{2AgCI(s) ->[Sunlight] 2Ag(s) + CI2(g)}\]
\[\ce{2AgBr(s) ->[Sunlight] 2Ag(s) + Br2(g)}\]
