Multiple choice

A medium of relative permittivity $\epsilon_{r2}$ = 2 forms an interface with free-space. A point source of electromagnetic energy is located in the medium at a depth of 1 metre from the interface. Due to the total internal reflection, the transmitted beam has a circular cross-section over the interface. The area of the beam cross section at the interface is given by
