← ScienceWhich limiting outcome occurs when an ablative laser machining process?
A)Heat-affected zone increases greatly✓
B)Wavelength shifts beyond coherence
C)Beam divergence decreases steadily
D)Refractive index shifts minimally
💡 Explanation
Excessive laser energy causes increased ablation, generating significant heat; Lateral Heat Conduction then affects surrounding material because the energy spreads rather than vaporizing it, therefore the heat-affected zone enlarges greatly, rather than minimal effects targeting a single area.
