Question

The pulse oximeter, a BME application for the respiratory system, measures SpO2 using which foundational physical principle?
Options
A Poiseuille's Law
B Ohm's Law
C Nernst Equation
D Beer-Lambert Law
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text states that pulse oximeters measure SpO2 using light absorption, which is based on the Beer-Lambert Law. This is mentioned under 'Respiratory System' BME applications and further elaborated in 'Key Equations'.

Hint

This law describes how light interacts with substances in a solution or tissue, which is crucial for measuring oxygen saturation.
