← ScienceWhich risk increases when a high-powered laser engraver's focusing lens is severely scratched?
A)Reduced surface finish quality
B)Increased plasma formation events✓
C)Decreased back reflection intensity
D)Elevated laser coherence length
💡 Explanation
Increased plasma formation events occur because lens scratching causes non-uniform energy density creating localized thermal runaway initiating dielectric breakdown in the air. Therefore, plasma risk increases, rather than enhanced finish because beam quality degrades.
