A = ɛDC, where ɛ is _______(a) Incident light Intensity(b) Transmitted light Intensity(c) Extinction coefficient(d) ConcentrationThe question was asked during an internship interview.My doubt is from Pulse Oximeter in section Oximeters of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Extinction coefficient

Best EXPLANATION: A pulse oximeter shows the percentage of arterial hemoglobin in the OXYHEMOGLOBIN (HbO2) and hemoglobin (Hb). This observation A = -logT = log I0/I = ɛDC where IO and I are incident and transmitted light intensities, E is the extinction coefficient, D is the depth of the absorbing layer and C is concentration.
