Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation ā Silver bromide (AgBr) decomposes when exposed to light. The formation of black metallic silver is what creates the image in black and white photography. Hence the assertion (A) is true.
2AgBr 2Ag + Br
Above reaction is an endothermic reaction where heat is absorbed. Light provides energy for this decomposition of silver bromide. Hence the reason (R) is true and reason (R) is a correct explanation of assertion (A).
