The graph below shows an audiogram for a person who has not been exposed to high noise levels hearing loss / db frequency /khz Suggest the hearing defect from which the person is suffering.... A person with normal hearing can detect a sound of intensity W m 2 at a frequency of 3.0 khz. Use data from the graph to determine the minimum intensity at 3.0 khz that can be detected by the person with the hearing defect. (c) On the graph, draw a second line to illustrate the hearing loss caused by many years of exposure to high noise levels in the workplace. Page 1 of 16

Outline the mechanism by which different frequencies are distinguished in the cochlea (c) A person with normal hearing can just hear a sound of intensity W m 2 at a frequency of 1000 Hz. (i) A sound wave of frequency 1000 Hz incident on the ear drum has an intensity of W m 2. Calculate the sound intensity level at the ear. (ii) Explain why the response of the ear is measured as a change in sound intensity level rather than a change of intensity of sound. s6. This question is about sound and hearing. The following graph shows the variation with frequency of the threshold of hearing for Frank and for Albert. Page 2 of 16
3 sound intensity level / db Albert Frank frequency / Hz A sound source produces a note of frequency 70 Hz. The sound power output of the source is W. The sound is emitted uniformly in all directions. Frank and Albert both walk towards the source. Frank stops when he first hears the sound. Albert stops when he first hears the sound. Use the graph to state and explain whether Albert or Frank stops closest to the source. (c) Deduce that the distance from the speaker at which Frank first hears the sound is 46 m. You may assume there is no reflected sound. The surface area of a sphere of radius r is 4 r The frequency of the sound emitted by the source is changed to 4000 Hz while Albert remains at the same location as he was in, and the power output is maintained at the same level as in. Use the graph to state and explain the changes, if any, of the loudness of the sound heard by Albert Page 3 of 16

This question is about ultrasound scanning. State a typical value for the frequency of ultrasound used in medical scanning.... The diagram below shows an ultrasound transmitter and receiver placed in contact with the skin. Page 6 of 16
7 d ultrasound transmitter and receiver O l layer of skin and fat The purpose of this particular scan is to find the depth d of the organ labelled O below the skin and also to find its length, l. (i) Suggest why a layer of gel is applied between the ultrasound transmitter/receiver and the skin. On the graph below the pulse strength of the reflected pulses is plotted against time t where t is the time lapsed between the pulse being transmitted and the time that the pulse is received. pulse strength / relative units A B D C t / s (ii) Indicate on the diagram below the origin of the reflected pulses A, B and C and D. d ultrasound transmitter and receiver O l layer of skin and fat Page 7 of 16
8 (c) (d) (iii) The mean speed in tissue and muscle of the ultrasound used in this scan is ms 1. Using data from the above graph, estimate the depth d of the organ beneath the skin and the length l of the organ O. The above scan is known as an A-scan. State one way in which a B-scan differs from an A-scan State one advantage and one disadvantage of using ultrasound as opposed to using X-rays in medical diagnosis. Advantage: Disadvantage:... (4) s12. This question is about medical imaging.... State and explain which imaging technique is normally used (i) to detect a broken bone. (ii) to examine the growth of a fetus. Page 8 of 16
9 The graph below shows the variation of the intensity I of a parallel beam of X-rays after it has been transmitted through a thickness x of lead. I / arbitrary units (i) Define half-value thickness, x / mm x 1. 2 (ii) (iii) (iv) Use the graph to estimate x 1 for this beam in lead. 2 Determine the thickness of lead required to reduce the intensity transmitted to 20% of its initial value. A second metal has a half-value thickness x 1 for this radiation of 8 mm. Calculate what 2 thickness of this metal is required to reduce the intensity of the transmitted beam by 80%. Page 9 of 16
10 s13. When X-rays are used for diagnostic purposes, beam energies of about 30 kev are used. This results in good contrast on the radiogram because the most important attenuation mechanism is not simple scattering. Outline the most important attenuation mechanism that is taking place at this energy Explain the following terms. (i) Attenuation coefficient (ii) Half-value thickness (c) The attenuation coefficient at 30 kev varies with the atomic number Z as shown below.
