Which consequence results when rapid heating causes non-uniform thermal expansion in tempered glass?

💡 Explanation

Tensile stress rises during differential heating; since tempered glass has pre-existing high compression, rapid expansion overcomes it, initiating fracture via *thermal shock*. Therefore, spontaneous shattering occurs; rather than densification or local compression, because those would mitigate the net stress.
