Question 118 of 295

An initially parallel cylindrical 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 $\mathrm{I}$ is the intensity of the light beam. The intensity of the beam is decreasing with increasing radius.
The initial shape of the wave front of the beam is
