Sodium thiosulphate is used in photography:
  1. as AgBr grain is reduced to non-metallic silver
  2. to convert metallic silver into silver salt
  3. to remove undecomposed AgBr in the form of Na3[Ag(S2O3)2] (a complex salt)
  4. to remove reduced silver

Q2
During the developing process in photography, unexposed AgBr is washed away by complexation of Ag(I) by sodium thiosulphate solution. These washings are often disposed of as waste. However, metallic silver can be recovered from them by adding cyanide, followed by zinc. What is the hybridization of zinc is the complex formed during the recovery of silver?
