How hot is a laser?

Material 1 melts at approx. 140°C, material 2 at 230°C – with 200 W laser power, one can therefore cut material 1 faster than material 2, as the energy doesn't have to be applied for as long to material 1 as to material 2. Consequently it can be said that a laser beam itself has no temperature.

How hot is laser hair?
The result is a very concentrated, very powerful form of energy. As the melanin in your hair sucks up the energy from the laser, it heats up to over 212 degrees Fahrenheit. As its water is vaporized, it burns and creates a teensy burst of smoke called a laser plume.

Does a hot pc run slower?
Excessive heat lowers the electrical resistance of objects, therefore increasing the current. In addition, slowdown is a result of overheating. Components can shut down when overheated and the motherboard temperature sensor instructs hardware such as the hard drive and processor to slow down.

Can a laser stop a bullet?
There are two ways to stop the bullet using a laser, vaporisation (which will cause the bullet to lose its momentum due to air resistance) and ablation (which blasts material off the surface to slow it down).
