A: The phenomenon of wavering of sound intensity when two waves of nearly same frequencies and…

Q: What is a sonic boom?

A: Sonic boom is the sound created when a shock wave travels through the air with the speed faster to…

Q: Why can we not hear echo in a small room?

A: The echo is produced due to the repetition of sound caused by the reflection of sound waves.

Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.
