Answer:

In this case, the option D "Try repositioning the hearing aid or remove it and turn down the volume" is correct

Hearing Aid:

It is such a device that is used by the people who have some hearing problem.

It is a simple electronic device that has a Microphone that receive the sound from other person which is send to the Amplifier that amplifies the sound and send to the speaker so that the person with the hearing aid can listen the sound easily.

  • The option A is not correct as whistling sound give us a clue that batteries are not depleted.
  • We can't turn up the volume as doctor can still listen the whistling sound but the 70-year old is not listening his sound so there is noise is in hearing aid.
  • We can't use pen and pencil as it will difficult to write for a 70 year old person and will make conversation difficult.
  • We can change the position as mentioned in option D or remove the hearing aid turn the volume down so that the old man can listen clearly.

Answer:

80 dB

Explanation:

Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance traveled by the sound.

Thus;

r1^2 divide by r2^2 = L2divideL1

where r= distance (m)

L= sound intensity (decibal dB)

8squared divide by 4 squared = L2 divide 20 dB

L2 = 4 × 20

L2= 80 dB

This means that the sound is increased from 20 dB to 80 dB.

Answer:

Mesoderm.

Explanation:

The mesoderm is one of the three germinal layers that appears in the third week of embryonic development. It is formed through a process called gastrulation. There are three important components, the paraxial mesoderm, the intermediate mesoderm and the lateral plate mesoderm.

Paraxial mesoderm, also known as presomitic or somitic mesoderm is the area of mesoderm in the neurulating embryo that flanks and forms simultaneously with the neural tube. The cells of this region give rise to somites, blocks of tissue running along both sides of the neural tube, which form muscle and the tissues of the back, including connective tissue and the dermis.
