Some feathers of the ruby-throated hummingbird have an iridescent green color due to interference. A simplified model of the step structure of the feather is shown in the figure. If the strongest reflection for normal incidence is at λ = 530 nm, what is the step height h? Assume h has the smallest possible value.**Diagram Explanation:**- The diagram shows a side view of the step structure of a feather.- Two rays of light (indicated by blue arrows) are incident on and reflected from a surface in the air.- The rays make a downward and upward path forming a V-shape, hitting the surface at the same angle on both sides of the step.- The height of the step is labeled as \( h \).- The step is visually shown in relation to the air above it.**Blank:** - A blank box is provided for entering the step height \( h \) in nanometers (nm).

Ordinary photographic film reverses black and white, in the sense that the most brightly illuminated areas become blackest upon development (hence the term negative). Suppose a hologram negative is viewed directly, without making a positive transparency. How will the resulting images differ from those obtained with the positive? Explain.
