Which consequence results when high-intensity lasers induce dielectric breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Plasma forms because electrons become stripped from atoms via impact ionization, the dielectric breakdown mechanism. Therefore, substantial light scattering occurs because the plasma is no longer transparent, rather than enhanced self-focusing or interference effects that would require different conditions.
