An initially parallel cylindrical beam travels in a medium of refractive index `mu(l)=mu_(0)+mu_(2)l`, where `mu_(0)` and `mu_(2)` are positive constants and l is the intensity of the light beam. The intensity of the beam is decreasing with increasing radius.
As the beam enters the medium, it will

A

diverge

B

convergent beam in each medium

C

diverge near the axis and converge near the periphery

D

travel as a cylindrical beam

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Beam is incident normally so does not diverge or converge so it travel as a cylindrical beam.
