   What is a shock wave?

   • Shock waves are not conventional sound waves; a shock wave takes the form of a very sharp change in the gas properties. Shock waves in air are heard as a loud "crack" or "snap" noise.

   What causes shock waves?

   • They are thin wavefronts that cause sudden changes in the pressure, temperature, and density of the medium. Shock waves are caused in supersonic flows. This is when something is traveling at a speed faster than the speed of sound in the medium. When a bullet travels at a speed greater than the speed of sound in air, we get shock waves.

   What happens if a shock wave is greater than a sound wave?

   • The speed of a shock wave is always greater than the speed of sound in the fluid and decreases as the amplitude of the wave decreases. When the shock wave speed equals the normal speed, the shock wave dies and is reduced to an ordinary sound wave. Jet fighter planes with conical shock waves made visible by condensation.

   What happens when a shock wave reaches an observer?

   • When a shock wave reaches an observer a "sonic boom" is heard. [insert N-wave discussion] Unlike ordinary sound waves, the speed of a shock wave varies with its amplitude. The speed of a shock wave is always greater than the speed of sound in the fluid and decreases as the amplitude of the wave decreases.

   What causes shock waves in a supersonic flow?

   • Shock waves are caused in supersonic flows. This is when something is traveling at a speed faster than the speed of sound in the medium. When a bullet travels at a speed greater than the speed of sound in air, we get shock waves. To visualize shock waves, we need special imaging techniques like Schlieren imaging to capture them.
