← ScienceWhich risk increases when a high-powered laser engraver's coolant fails?
A)Workpiece thermal runaway ignites spontaneously✓
B)Beam diffraction exceeds lens correction
C)Coherent photons experience pulse splitting
D)Laser gain medium exceeds Curie point
💡 Explanation
Workpiece combustion becomes very likely when cooling stops, because thermal runaway promotes rapid exothermic reactions. Failure causes localized overheating via conductive heat transfer resulting in spontaneous ignition, therefore the material ignites rather than lens aberration or photon splitting under normal circumstances.
