An initially parallel cylindrical beam travels in a medium of refractive index $\mu(I) = \mu_0 + \mu_2I$,where $\mu_0$ and $\mu_2$ are positive constants and $I$ is the intensity of the light beam. The intensity of the beam is decreasing with increasing radius. The initial shape of the wavefront of the beam is

  • A
    planar
  • B
    Convex
  • C
    Concave
  • D
    convex near the axis and concave near the periphery
