Options:
  • A $f$ and $\frac{1}{4}$
  • B $\frac{3 f}{4}$ and $\frac{I}{2}$
  • C f and $\frac{3 I}{4}$
  • D $\frac{\mathrm{f}}{2}$ and $\frac{\mathrm{I}}{2}$

The correct answer is: f and $\frac{3 I}{4}$
Intensity, $I \propto A^2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{I}_2}{\mathrm{I}_1}=\left[\frac{\mathrm{A}_2}{\mathrm{~A}_1}\right]^2=\frac{\pi \mathbf{r}^2-\frac{\pi \mathbf{r}^2}{4}}{\pi \mathbf{r}^2}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{I}_2=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{I}_1$ and focal length remains
unchanged.
