One of the loudest sound generators ever created is the Danley Sound Labs Matterhorn. When run at full power, the device uses an input power of 40,000 W. The output power registers 94 dB at 250 m. What is the efficiency of this device— that is, the ratio of output power to input power?

a medical imaging system sends a soundwave through a piece of bone. the speed of sound through bone is 3500 m/s. if it takes 275 microseconds for the sound wave to make a round trip back and forth across the bone, what is the thickness of the bone?
Male Rana catesbeiana bullfrogs are known for their loud mating call.The call is emitted not by the frog’s mouth but by its eardrums, which lie on the surface of the head. And, surprisingly, the sound has nothing to do with the frog’s inflated throat. If the emitted sound has a frequency of 260 Hz and a sound level of 85 dB (near the eardrum), what is the amplitude of the eardrum’s oscillation? The air density is 1.21 kg/m3.
A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. If bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 5.89 104 Hz, and if the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, what is the smallest insect a bat can detect?mm

You generate a sound wave of 420 Hz with a speaker. The speed of sound is 342 m/s. You are 2 m from the speaker. You back up until you are 6 m from the speaker. What happens to the intensity of the sound you hear? Does it decrease by a factor of 2, 3, 6, or something else?
The intensity level in decibels is defined as 10 log10(I/I0), where I0 is a reference intensity equal to the human threshold of hearing, 10–12 W/m2. What is the intensity of the threshold of pain, 120 decibels? answer is : 10° W/m2 I'm not sure how they got this answer

A car that is about to enter a tunnel and is moving at a top speed of 50.0 [kph]. To signal that the car is coming, the car driver blows a horn, producing a sound of some frequency. At that time, the temperature of the air is about 20.0°C. What is the speed of sound in air at this temperature? If the sound is reflected back by a wall at the opening of the tunnel, what is the ratio of the incident frequency and the received frequency heard by the car driver?
Rasim and Zhihan are experimenting to determine the speed of sound in m/s in air at 0°C. Assuming air to be made up of diatomic molecules with a molecular mass of 29 g/mol, what is the correct value they should expect for the speed of sound in m/s?
