  1. Veins
  2. Arteries
  3. Both A and B
  4. None of the above

A
Arteries
B
Veins
C
None of the above
D
Both A and B
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The arterial pulse is a measurement of the heart’s contraction rate because a pulse wave is created when the left ventricle contracts. The arteries expand in response to this contraction and increase in volume. Once expanded, the arteries will contract forcing blood to circulate to the capillaries and then to the veins. The arterial pulse is evaluated for the contour of the pulse wave and its volume, rate and rhythm. The carotid pulse is the most accurate reflection of central aortic pulse. Thus, option B is correct.

A long wire PQR is made by joining two wires PQ and QR of equal radii. PQ has length 4.8 m and mass 0.06 kg and QR has length 2.56 m and mass 0.2 kg. The wire PQR is under a tension of 80 N. A sinusoidal wave-pulse of amplitude 3.5 cm is sent along the wire PQ from the end P. No power is dissipated during the propagation of the wave-pulse. Calculate
(a) the time taken by the wave-pulse to reach the other end R of the wire, and
(b) the amplitude of the reflected and transmitted wave-pulse after the incident wave pulse cross the joint Q.
