Consider a nanoring consists of a total12 atoms as shown in the figure attached. A black atom is initially placed at the outer rim of the ring as shown in the figure. The black atom can randomly jump (with equal probability) from atom to atom along the outer side of the ring on either side as shown by the arrows. When the black atom passes by the grey atom, it emits a pulse of light with intensity Io. Compute the total average intensity of light emitted by the black atom in 15 jumps.
