A sonic boom is a sound associated with shock waves created when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding similar to an explosion or a thunderclap to the human ear.

2023年9月23日 · A sonic boom is the sound produced when an object, often today's supersonic aircraft, moves faster than the speed of sound. This rapid movement creates shock waves that manifest as a loud, booming noise.

2023年6月5日 · A sonic boom is the loud noise that results when something breaks the sound barrier. You break the barrier by traveling faster than the speed of sound, which is 768 mph at sea level.

Sonic boom is a common name for the loud noise that is created by the 'shock wave' produced by the air-plane that is traveling at speeds greater than that of sound ( speed of sound is approximately 332 m/s or 1195 km/hr or 717 miles/hour). These speeds are called supersonic speeds, hence this phenomena is sometimes called the supersonic boom.

2024年5月28日 · A sonic boom is a phenomenon that occurs when an object moves through the air at a speed greater than that of sound. This speed is also known as Mach 1, and is approximately 343 meters per second (1235 km/h or 767 mph) at sea level at 20 degrees Celsius.

What is Sonic Boom? A sonic boom is a thunderous noise caused by compressed moving sound waves. It is generated by an object moving faster than the speed of sound (about 335m/s at sea level). When an aircraft breaks the sound speed, pressure waves merge and form shock waves that move forward from the generation or “release” area.

Sonic boom is an impulsive noise similar to thunder. It is caused by an object moving faster than sound -- about 750 miles per hour at sea level. An aircraft traveling through the atmosphere continuously produces air-pressure waves similar to the water waves caused by a ship's bow.

2025年1月26日 · Sonic boom, shock wave that is produced by an aircraft or other object flying at a speed equal to or exceeding the speed of sound and that is heard on the ground as a sound like a clap of thunder. When an aircraft travels at subsonic speed, the pressure disturbances, or sounds, that it generates

When the sound source is traveling faster than the speed of sound, a cone of constructive interference trails behind the source. At the moment when the edge of this cone crosses the path of an observer, a loud sonic boom is heard.

Typically, a sonic boom occurs when an object travels faster than the speed of sound and creates shock waves generating a large sound. However, it can only be perceived at a precise positioning relative to the moving object.
