An intially parallel cyclindrical beam travels in a medium of refractive index `mu (I) = mu_(0) + mu_(2) I`, where `mu_(0)` and `mu_(2)` are positive constants and `I` is intensity of light beam. The intensity of the beam is decreasing with increasing radius.
Answer the following questions :
The initial shape of the wavefront of the beam is
A. convex
B. concave
C. convex near the axis and concave near the periphery
D. planar
Answer the following questions :
The initial shape of the wavefront of the beam is
A. convex
B. concave
C. convex near the axis and concave near the periphery
D. planar
Correct Answer – D
Beam does not converge or diverge so phape of wave front remain planar.
