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

The correct answer is less oxygen is absorbed by the body.

An infection of the lung parenchyma is what is meant by the term pneumonia. Health care workers must keep in mind that pneumonia is an umbrella word for a group of syndromes produced by a range of organisms, resulting in a diversity of presentations and consequences, rather than viewing it as a single disease. An infection of the lung parenchyma results from a number of diseases together referred to as pneumonia. There have been numerous attempts to categorize pneumonia according to its etiology, the clinical situation in which the patient contracted the infection, the pattern of lung parenchyma involvement, and other factors. This article examines pneumonia using the American Thoracic Society's system of classification.

loris [4]

Answer:

I believe that they are becoming more concerned for zoophytic disease because it is becoming more and more common for these animal transmitted disease to spread, such as ringworm or hookworms. The factors that would make these more of a threat would likely be the amount of people with animals or the other animals or people their animals are around or not taking your animal to the vet upon signs of seeing symptoms of declining health
