Sound Waves move at an elastic speed determined by the medium it's traveling in - for air, it's dependent on the temperature and humidity of the air the sound is traveling in as to how fast sound will travel.
Sound moves at different speeds in different mediums - in dry air at 68 degrees F, it travels at about 768mph.
The Sound Barrier is considered that speed at which sound is traveling, or Mach 1. When a supersonic aircraft moves past the speed of sound in air, it is said to go through the sound barrier. This is denoted on the ground as a "sonic boom", very common in the 50's and 60's around America, but less so today because of noise considerations in heavily populated areas. The crack of a whip is another example of an object moving through the sound barrier - the "crack" you hear is the tip of the whip breaking the barrier as it moves faster than the sound it made.

What is The enormous audible thunderclap that follows an aircraft as it goes through the sound barrier is called a .?
Sonic boom.
What happen when the aeroplane go faster than the speed of the sound?
When an airplane goes faster than the speed of sound, it reaches the speed of sound barrier, called Mach 1. This can create a sonic boom, which is a loud noise caused by shock waves produced by the plane breaking the sound barrier. The aircraft is said to be supersonic when flying faster than the speed of sound.

a sonic boom
Why does light not break the sound barrier?
The sound barrier is formed by pressure waves building up on each other. Imagine a singer. If you have a second singer sing with them it sounds louder. Add more singers and the loudness goes up. This is because the sound waves are constructively interfering with each other or building up. The same happens with the sound barrier. The pressure wave built up has a very high intensity but, because all of the sound waves occupy the same space, the wave creates a very short, but loud "Boom."
What is the name of the wave that goes into the sound barrier?
The wave that occurs when an object approaches and breaks the sound barrier is called a shock wave. This phenomenon happens when the speed of the object exceeds the speed of sound, creating a sudden increase in pressure and temperature.

How do airplane engines work in rain?
the water just goes through with the air. search "airplane engine tests" on youtube.

What is the enormous audible thunderclap that follows an aircraft as it goes through the sound barrier called?
The loud noise that occurs when an aircraft breaks the sound barrier is called a sonic boom. This is the result of shock waves created by the sudden change in air pressure caused by the aircraft traveling at supersonic speeds.
How does sound affect water?
Water makes sound slower and if it goes through matter it goes faster
What happens when an airplane slows from the speed of sound?
When an airplane slows from the speed of sound, it goes through a region called the transonic zone. During this process, shock waves and changes in air pressure occur, which can lead to turbulence and potential loss of control if not managed properly. Pilots need to carefully control the aircraft's speed to safely transition through the transonic zone.
What does the sound go past in you're ear?
The sound goes into your ear and through the eardrum.
How fast is the sound barrier?
I guess you refer to the speed of sound. The speed of sound depends on the material sounds goes through, as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, among others. For example, the speed of sound in air is around 350 meters/second; in some other materials it can be several times as fast.
