Instructions ›
You will see a video explaining the mechanics of how film cameras capture images. At the end of the recording the last word or group of words has been replaced by a beep. Select the correct option to complete the recording.

Transcript:

A camera is basically a box with a lens at one end and film at the other. The inside of a camera is completely dark. When you press the button to take a picture, a shutter opens for a fraction of a second to let light rays from a scene in through the lens. While the shutter is open, the lens gathers light rays from the scene and focuses them onto the film. Camera film has a light-sensitive chemical coating that reacts differently to different colours and to varying intensities of light. When the light strikes the film, it causes chemical changes in the film's coating. These changes create a latent image which is invisible to the naked eye. To make the latent image visible, the film is placed in special chemical solutions. The image is then transferred from the film to a sheet of special paper which creates a (photograph).

Option 3: "photograph"

Explanation: The text concludes with the process of transferring the image from the film to a sheet of special paper, which results in a photograph. This aligns perfectly with the context provided, as it directly refers to the final product of the photographic process described.

Option 1: "digital copy"

Explanation: The term 'digital copy' refers to a reproduction of an image in a digital format, which is not mentioned in the text. The text discusses the process of creating a photograph from film, not a digital version. Therefore, this option does not align with the main idea of the text.

Option 2: "negative"

Explanation: While the term 'negative' relates to photography, it specifically refers to the film that contains the inverted colors of the image. The text describes the process of creating a visible photograph from the film, not the negative itself. Thus, this option does not fit the context of the sentence.

Option 4: "slide"

Explanation: The term 'slide' refers to a specific type of photographic image that is projected onto a screen. The text does not mention slides or their creation; it focuses on the process of developing a photograph from film. Therefore, this option is not relevant to the context.
