Which risk increases during pipeline weld inspection using phased array ultrasonic testing?

💡 Explanation

Spurious indications increase, because **constructive interference** sums small reflections from grain boundaries, therefore, mimicking flaws as larger defects rather than revealing the true discontinuity, because other options affect signal strength.

• Which risk increases when circularly polarized laser light experiences stress-induced birefringence?
• Which consequence results when excess free ions contaminate electrolyte solutions?
• Which mechanism limits maximum power output of a Carnot engine?
• Which mechanism induces current flow within the metal core of a high-power transformer subjected to alternating magnetic fields?
• Which risk increases when flow transitions to turbulence?
• Which failure results when thermal expansion weakens connections between crystal substrates?
