When a strip of copper metal( in the form of a wire) is released in the solution of silver nitrate, copper being a more reactive metal than silver displaces silver from its compound by forming copper nitrate with a shiny greyish white deposit of silver on the copper strip.
2AgNO3 + Cu ——-> Cu (NO3)2 + Ag
hence Ag is reduced and Cu is oxidised
