The light rays which are emerging out of the source will comes as a continous diverging rays just imagine you are standing very far from the source some miles apart or consider our own sun.... that continous rays from a long distance which surrounds you seems to be parallel..... this is the thing you have to be imagine rather than solving theoritically.....
