Which Material is used for smart film?
- ACalcium carbonate
- BIndium tin oxide
- CZinc chloride
- DSilica
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Indium tin oxide
Explanation
Smart film (switchable/electrochromic film) changes its light transmission when a voltage is applied, switching between transparent and opaque.
Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a transparent conducting oxide that combines electrical conductivity with optical transparency, ideal for such films.
Calcium carbonate and silica are non-conductive fillers/glass materials, unsuitable for the conductive layer.
