A quantitative treatment of the photographic process is carried out, modeled on the Gurney Mott theory. This is extended by taking account of the distribution of photolytic silver during and after the exposure. Applications of the theory are made to some simple types of sensitizing. The most important physical parameter of a photographic grain seems to be the number of electron traps.
