WHAT IS SONIC BOOST?

 

The sound associated with shock waves produced when an object moves faster than the speed of sound through the air. Sonic booms produce large amounts of sound energy that sounds like an explosion or thunder to the human ear. The explosion of a fired bullet or the sound of a whip can count as small sonic booms.

 

Sonic booms from large supersonic aircraft can be particularly loud and spooky, waking people up and causing minor damage to some structures. A sonic boom does not occur only when an object exceeds the speed of sound, and it cannot be heard from all directions around the supersonic object. In fact, the explosion is a continuous effect that occurs when moving at supersonic speeds. However, it only affects observers positioned at a point that intersects a geometric cone-shaped region behind the object. As the object moves, this conical region also moves behind it, and when the cone passes over the observer, they will briefly experience the explosion.

 

WHAT CAUSES SONIC BOOST?

 

Sound is a periodic pressure wave created by the vibration of particles of a medium by a wave source. These waves are collected by the ear and perceived as sound in the brain. Sound waves propagate at 343 m/s at sea level and at 20º C. Sonic boom is the result of the source creating the sound waves moving at or faster than the speed of sound.
