A gravitational lens may be assumed to have a varying width of the form
$\text{w}(\text{b})=\text{k}_1\text{ In }\Big(\frac{\text{k}_2}{\text{b}}\Big)\ \ \text{b}_\text{min}<\text{b}<\text{b}_\text{max}$
$=\text{k}_1\text{ In }\Big(\frac{\text{k}_2}{\text{b}_\text{min}}\Big)\ \ \text{b}<\text{b}_\text{min}$
Show that an observer will see an image of a point object as a ring about the center of the lens with an angular radius
$\beta=\sqrt{\frac{(\text{n}-1)\text{k}_1\frac{\text{u}}{\text{v}}}{\text{u}+\text{v}}}$

It this case, differentiating expression of time taken t w.r.t.b.
$\text{t}=\frac{1}{\text{c}}\bigg(\text{u}+\text{v}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{D}}+(\text{n}-1)\text{k}_1\text{ In }\Big(\frac{\text{k}_2}{\text{b}}\Big)\bigg)$
$\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{db}}=0=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{D}}-(\text{n}-1)\frac{\text{k}_1}{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{b}^2=(\text{n}-1)\text{k}_1\text{D}$
$\therefore\ \text{b}=\sqrt{(\text{n}-1)\text{k}_1\text{D}}$
Thus, all rays passing at a height b shall contribute to the image. They ray paths make an angle.
$\beta=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{v}}=\frac{\sqrt{(\text{n}-1)\text{k}_1\text{D}}}{\text{v}}=\sqrt{\frac{(\text{n}-1)\text{k}_1\text{uv}}{\text{v}^2(\text{u}+\text{v})}}=\sqrt{\frac{(\text{n}-1)\text{k}_1\text{u}}{(\text{u}+\text{v})\text{v}}}$. This is the required expression.

    1. An equiconvex lens with radii of curvature of magnitude r each, is put over a liquid layer poured on top of a plane mirror. A small needle, with its tip on the principal axis of the lens, is moved along the axis until its inverted real image coincides with the needle itself. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be 'a'. On removing the liquid layer and repeating the experiment the distance is found to be 'b'.
    Given that two values of distances measured represent the focal length values in the two cases, obtain a formula for the refractive index of the liquid.
