$A$ parallel cylindrical beam of light propagates in a medium with a refractive index $\mu(I) = \mu_0 + \mu_2 I$,where $\mu_0$ and $\mu_2$ are positive constants and $I$ is the intensity. As the intensity of the light decreases,the radius increases. The initial shape of the wavefront is:
- APlane
- BConcave
- CConvex
- DConvex near the axis and concave near the periphery
