An initially parallel cylindrical beam travels in a medium of refractive index $\mu \left(l\right)={\mu }_0+{\mu }_{2}l$, 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.
The inital shape of the wave front of the beam is
