Supersonic means a velocity greater than that of sound. So a sound cannot be supersonic.
Supersonic sound is also a musical group from Germany that plays various styles of music.
No such thing as supersonic sound. Things can move with supersonic speed (fighter jets, ends of whips) making a shock wave, but the sound arrives at your ears at the speed of sound.
It is an oxymoron, a self-contradiction, in that sound must travel at the speed of sound (which does vary by the medium or material). Supersonic means "faster than sound."You might, however, describe vibrations as being supersonic, meaning that they are traveling faster than sound would in air.
Supersonic means "Faster than the speed of sound" so they are not the sme thing.
A supersonic bullet is a bullet that is faster than the speed of sound.
That's a sonic boom. Sound waves are never supersonic in themselves, objects can be supersonic ... which causes a pressure wave (which moves at "sonic" speeds) and which can be heard (firing a gun will do it).
Supersonic waves are waves that can travel faster than normal sound waves.
Supersonic and hypersonic are speeds. Supersonic means faster than the speed of sound, and hypersonic means very much faster.
Subsonic is below or slower than the speed of sound, and supersonic is above or faster than the speed of sound.
One supersonic aircraft is the F-15 Eagle. -Supersonic means it can fly faster than Mach 1, the speed of sound. Most fighter jets today are supersonic, in fact many fly more than twice the speed of sound.
