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

Which neuron would activate to a muscle? 2. : Which neuron would be found in the retina of the eye? 3. : Which neuron is a senso
lesya [120]

Answer:

Since this question has multiple subquestions in it, I will give you the answer to them as follows:

1. Which neuron would activate a muscle? They are called multipolar neurons, they are found mostly originating from the CNS itself and they are multipolar because when a neuron stimulates a muscle, one signal from just one terminal is not enough; it requires the stimulation from several neurnal terminals.

2. Which neuron would be found in the retina of the eye? A bipolar neuron. This is because these neurons will fulfill a double function: to activate the muscles of the retina, and also they will convey messages taken by the sense of sight, towards the brain for interpretation and integration.

3. Which neuron is a sensory neuron found in a reflex arc? The answer again is a unipolar neuron. These neurons will not reach the brain itself, but rather the reflex arc site on the spinal cord. Their task is to relay sensations from the site that has been stimulated to the spinal cord and from there to the affected place, with the correct response.

4. Which neuron is never myelinated? Again the answer is the bipolar neurons found connecting the retina and the eyes. The reason is that these neurons are capable of relying fast messages to and from the brain, whereas in myelinated ones, messages go slower due to the myeling sheaths.

5. Which neuron is typically involved in the special senses of sight and smell?  Once more the answer is the bipolar neurons that are most commonly found connecting the different organs of these two senses. Since these have such unique capabilities: relying information for integration and sensory and motor responses, their action potentials travel fast, and have a short distance to go.

how would the nurse respond to an alcohol recovery program sponsor requestiong to read hisor her client. quiazlet
mars1129 [50]

Following nursing ethics, the nurse should not allow the sponsor to review the record.

<h3>What ethics should the nurse follow?</h3>
  • Ethics are moral rules that oversee how the individual or a organization will act or respond to a situation.
  • Nursing ethics is the applied discipline that tends to the ethical principle of nursing practice.
  • Moral qualities are fundamental for all medical services laborers. Ethical practice is an establishment for medical caretakers, who deal with moral issues day to day.
  • There are four fundamental principles of ethics: autonomy, beneficence, justice, and non-maleficence.
  • Every patient has the option to settle on their own choices in view of their own convictions and values (autonomy).
  • Medical services laborers have an obligation to cease from abuse, limit hurt, and advance great towards patients (beneficence).
  • All patients reserve a privilege to be dealt with fairly and similarly by others (justice).
  • Patients reserve an option to no damage. Non-maleficence expects that attendants try not to hurt patients.

the nurse is reviewing the plan of care for a client with a disorder of the thyroid gland. which diagnostic test would the nurse
DiKsa [7]

Radioimmunoassay is a test that the nurse expects the physician to order to check thyroid hormones.

The thyroid gland is an important hormone gland that regulates metabolism, growth, and development in the human body. It aids in the regulation of various physiological functions by continuously releasing a consistent amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream.

The thyroid gland generates hormones that control the metabolic rate of the body, as well as heart, muscle, and digestive function, brain growth, and bone maintenance.

The most frequent thyroid issues include aberrant thyroid hormone production. Hyperthyroidism is a condition caused by an excess of thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism is caused by insufficient hormone production.
