A nucleus of mass $$M+$$$$\Delta m$$ is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass $${M \over 2}$$ each. Speed of light is $$c.$$

The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is $${E_1}$$ and that for the daughter nuclei is $${E_2}.$$ Then

A nucleus of mass $$M+$$$$\Delta m$$ is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass $${M \over 2}$$ each. Speed of light is $$c.$$

The speed of daughter nuclei is

An initially parallel cylindrical beam travels in a medium of refractive index $$\mu \left( I \right) = {\mu _0} + {\mu _2}\,I,$$ where $${\mu _0}$$ and $${\mu _2}$$ are positive constants and $$I$$ is the intensity of the light beam. The intensity of the beam is decreasing with increasing radius.

The initial shape of the wavefront of the beam is
