The higher pressure part of a sound wave is called?

The higher pressure part of a sound wave is called the compression phase. It represents the regions of increased air pressure created by the vibration of a sound source.


How does the v - shape of a shock wave depend on the speed of the wave source?

The angle of the V-shaped shock wave, known as the Mach angle, decreases as the speed of the wave source increases. At very high speeds, the shock wave becomes nearly perpendicular to the direction of motion of the source, creating a more narrow V shape.


What causes a double sonic boom?

The first sonic boom is created by the shock wave coming off the front of the aircraft. The aircraft displaces a large volume of air, and creates a vacuum trailing the craft. The tail end of this vacuum cavity creates a second shock wave. On smaller aerodynamic craft, the cavity might be right behind the tail of the craft, and the separation between the shock fronts is not enough to be able to discern them as distinct booms. On larger and faster aircraft, the cavity can trail significantly behind the tail, and thus create a significant enough separation that two distinct booms are heard.


How can the human body be affected by exposure to an acoustic shock wave?

Exposure to an acoustic shock wave can cause damage to the human body, particularly to the ears and hearing. The high intensity of the shock wave can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and other ear-related issues. Additionally, the shock wave can also cause physical trauma to other parts of the body, such as the lungs and internal organs, depending on the intensity and proximity of the exposure.


Why no shock in subsonic?

In subsonic flow, the flow velocity is less than the speed of sound. This means that disturbances in the flow cannot travel faster than the speed of sound, preventing the formation of shock waves. Without the necessary conditions for shock wave formation, subsonic flow remains smooth and continuous.

What is a shock wave from an exploding star called?

A shock wave from a supernova is called nothing more than a "shock wave". You might be looking for "gamma ray burst" but that has nothing to do with a "shock wave". See related link for more information on Gamma ray bursts.

What happens when a land mine explodes?

Explosives detonate, creating a rapidly expanding shock wave. In some cases, the shock wave alone causes injury or death. In other cases, the shock wave drives projectiles that cause injury.
