Shock waves or shocks are the propagating disturbance created in the medium and having high speed than sound waves. These shock waves sustain energy and can prorogate through the medium like another wave. When the shock waves are transferred through the matter, then the energy of the wave is conserved, but the randomness of the wave-particle increases.
Step 2
The shock waves are produced when the moving source of a sound moves with higher speed than the speed of sound. The source which is producing shock waves always moves ahead then the shock waves produce by it.
For example:- Shock waves are produced when the aircraft is moving with speed higher than the speed of sound.
