There are two types of waves, transverse and longitudinal (sometimes called pressure or compression waves). When people think of waves, they often think of transverse waves. Click each video to see an example and explanation of both types.
When planes break the sound barrier they also create something called a sonic boom. This is a loud noise like an explosion that is generated from a number of sound waves that are forced together as the plane is now traveling faster than sound.

Sharing is Caring. sound barrier, sharp rise in aerodynamic drag that occurs as an aircraft approaches the speed of sound and that was formerly an obstacle to supersonic flight. If an aircraft flies at somewhat less than sonic speed, the pressure waves (sound waves) it creates outspeed their sources and spread out ahead of it.
