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 0.800 cm2 with an efficiency of 38.0%?

Answer: Δβ = 28.5278 dB

Explanation:

from the question we are given that;

the sound gathering area Ga = 15.0 cm²

total area Ae = 0.800 cm²

efficiency ε = 38 %

therefore we have that the effective gathering area of the stethoscope is;

As = ε Ga

As = 38 % × 15 = 5.7 cm²

But I ∝ 1/A

where Ie/Is = As/Ae

Ie/Is = 5.7/0.800 = 7.125

given that we are to assume that  sound is transmitted into a stethoscope 100 times, this gives

I'e/I's = Ie/Is × 100 = 7.125 × 100 = 712.5

Δβ = βe - βs = (10dB) log (I'e/Io) - (10dB) log (I's/Io)

Δβ = (10dB) log (I'e/I's)

Δβ = (10dB) log (712.5) = 28.5278

Δβ = 28.5278 dB

cheers i hope this helps

List the 5 Cell Junctions AND where you might find this type of cell junction in the body
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Different types of intercellular junctions, including plasmodesmata, tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes. Plasmodesmata (singular form: plasmodesma) are intercellular organelles found only in plant and algal cells. Tight junctions are located within our body's epithelia. Epithelia is the plural of epithelium. Epithelium is a word that refers to the covering of the body's internal and external surfaces. This includes organs (such as skin), blood vessels, and cavities. Gap junctions are found in many places throughout the body. This includes epithelia, which are the coverings of body surfaces, as well as nerves, cardiac (heart) muscle, and smooth muscle (such as that of the intestines). Desmosomes are prominently found in cardiac muscle
