Which component consists of a light-tight container that holds the supply of exposed and unexposed film?
Correct Answer:
Magazine
Explanation:
The main idea is how film is kept safe from light while it’s being stored and advanced in the camera. The container that does this is a magazine. It acts as a light-tight housing for the film supply, holding both unexposed film and the exposed film as it’s wound and fed through the camera, so no light leaks can fog the images. This lets you advance frames in order without exposing the film to light. The other items serve different roles: a strip camera exposes film through a moving slit as the image is scanned, a lens cone assembly is part of the optical system, and a viewfinder is for composing and framing the shot, not for storing film.
