← ScienceWhich consequence results when high-intensity coherent light experiences pinhole diffraction?
A)Material surface ablation occurs rapidly✓
B)Reflected wave amplitude abruptly drops
C)Brewster angle reflection becomes diffuse
D)Chromatic aberration significantly extends
💡 Explanation
Surface ablation happens because constructive **interference** focuses the diffracted energy into highly concentrated points. These points, driven by stimulated emission, rapidly vaporize material rather than exhibiting lower amplitude reflection under different angle or dispersion conditions.
