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 I is the intensity of the light beam. The intensity of the beam is decreasing with increasing radius. The speed of light in the medium is :

Answer»

maximum on the axis of the beam
MINIMUM on the axis of the beam
the same everywhere in the beam
directly proportional to the intensity 1.

Solution :(b) Since intensity is decreasing with radius,
`mu (I) = mu_(1) + mu_(2) I`
So is maximum along the axis of CYLINDER i.e. refractive INDEX `mu` is maximum along the axis. `rArr` velocity is minimum along the axis of bam.
