are conserved quantities along the path of the photon.
setting $u \cdot u = 0$ since its a light ray
gets with $\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$ gives
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
u \cdot u = g_{\alpha \beta} \frac{d x^\alpha}{d \lambda}\frac{d x^\alpha}{d \lambda} \\
\frac{1}{b^2} = \frac{1}{l^2}\left( \frac{dr}{\lambda}\right)^2 + W_{\rm{eff}}(r)
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
b^2 &= \frac{l^2}{e^2} \\
