What is the term for the area of wave compressions produced by sounds from object moving faster than the speed of sound?

sound barrier


What are supersonic and infrasonic?

Supersonic means "faster than the speed of sound" and is usually applied to atmospheric sound, since sound vibrations travel more quickly through solids.Infrasonic means "at a lower frequency than human hearing typically detects" and the connotation is that the sounds are inaudible. The opposite adjective is ultrasonic (at too high a frequency to hear) and likewise the sounds would be inaudible to humans.Supersonic and ultrasonic are not true synonyms because they are applied to different phenomena. For example, ultrasonic is used for rapidly vibrating toothbrush heads, primarily because they are vibrating at high speed, not traveling at high speed.


What allows you hear sounds in a room when you are standing outside the door?

Sound waves can travel through the air and reach your ears even if you are standing outside a room. The sound waves can pass through the cracks and gaps around the door, allowing you to hear sounds from inside.


Am extremelynfast airplane can cause an explosive called boom?

An extremely fast airplane can create a shockwave that results in a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier. The rapid change in air pressure produced by breaking the sound barrier creates a loud noise similar to an explosion. However, the sonic boom itself is not an explosive.


What sound is produced when the shock wave formed at the nose of an artifact traveling at supersonic speeds reaches the ground?

The sound of a sonic boom is the engine noise and vibration of the aircraft, only greatly amplified. Sound is a reverberating pressure wave that travels through air at a constant rate. Sound waves move away from the plane in all directions as it travels, but at the speed of sound these pressure waves at the nose can't get clear of the plane and so begin to 'stack' together, resulting in a much stronger wave and an extremely loud noise. O> = the plane ( ( ) ) = sound waves at rest: ( ( ( ( O> ) ) ) ) Subsonic flight: Sound in front is a higher frequency ( ( ( O> ) ) ) ) ) ) Sonic boom: Sounds can no longer escape directly in front ( ( ( O>) Supersonic flight: Plane is outrunning its own sound () ) ) )() ) ) )() ) ) )( O>

The plural of aircraft is the same. Why?

because "aircrafts" sounds stupid.


Why can bat hear much higher sounds than humans?

bats can hear sounds of higher frequency than humans (supersonic) because they produce them and these sound waves echo back to them by bouncing of items so that they can see how far something is. Just like in submarines. therfore they need to 'hear' these 'supersonic' waves to see.


Can a bicycle go faster then sounds?

a bike cannot break the sound barrier.

What sounds do gun shots make?

Breaking of the sound barrier unless subsonic ammunition is used is one.


What is formed when rocks slide along a cracks?

sounds like, if the rocks are plates, an earthquake... assuming this "crack" is a fault?? does this help?


What do bats hate?

Being creatures of acute hearing sense, they particularly hate high intensity sounds that are beyond the hearing level of the human ear. Supersonic sound emitters can accomodate this.

Why do my headphones keep losing sound in only one of the ears?

This sounds like a loose wire. You should check the wire for any cracks or breaks.
