A Rayograph is characterized by what visual result?

• A. Vivid color gradients.
• B. Ghostly white shapes on a black background where objects blocked light.
• C. Three-dimensional sculpture created from light.
• D. Inverted grayscale portraits.

Answer: (B)

A Rayograph is a camera-free photograph created by placing objects directly on light-sensitive paper and exposing it to light. The parts of the paper that are blocked by the objects don’t get exposed, so they remain light and appear as ghostly white shapes. The surrounding areas receive light and darken, producing a stark black background. This yields white silhouettes on a dark field, not color gradients, not a three-dimensional sculpture, and not a portrait-inverted effect.
