Sound is more effectively transmitted into a stethoscope by direct contact than through the air, and it is further intensified b
y being concentrated on the smaller area of the eardrum. It is reasonable to assume that sound is transmitted into a stethoscope 100 times as effectively compared with transmission though the air. What, then, is the gain in decibels produced by a stethoscope that has a sound gathering area of 15.0 cm2, and concentrates the sound onto two eardrums with a total area of 1.00 cm2 with an efficiency of 37.0%?
