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).

Is bats produce supersonic sound waves?

the bats do not produce supersonic sounds.they produce ultrasonic sounds.Thats the reason we cant hear them


What different between ultrasonic wave and supersonic wave?

Ultrasonic refers to frequencies greater than those that can be heard (usually frequencies above 20 kHz). Supersonic refers to velocities faster than the speed of sound (in the medium under consideration).


What is the difference between ultrasonic and supersonic waves?

a sound wave transmitted at a frequency greater than 20,000 per second, or beyond the normal hearing range of humans. The specific wavelength is equal to the velocity divided by the frequency. this wave is generated from tranducers, tranducers converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy(wave), i.e ultrasonic wave.supersonic waves are those wave whose velocity are greater than the sound wave. Supersonic waves are generated by high explosives.


Bats can sense obstacles because they produce 1. supersonic sound waves 2. ultrasonic sound waves 3.infrasonic sound waves 4. micro Sound waves?

Bats produce ultrasonic sound waves to sense obstacles in their environment. These waves bounce back, allowing bats to navigate and locate objects in the dark.


What's difference between subsonic and supersonic?

The main difference is the speed of the object in relation to the speed of sound. Subsonic refers to speeds slower than the speed of sound, while supersonic refers to speeds faster than the speed of sound. In the case of supersonic speeds, objects are traveling faster than the speed at which sound waves propagate in the medium.

What is supersonic 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.

What are the applications of supersonic waves?

Supersonic waves are used in supersonic flights. They are also used in body scanning and used to detect faults in metal.


What is a supersonic sound?

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.


What are the characteristics and applications of supersonic flow?

Supersonic flow is characterized by speeds faster than the speed of sound. It is often used in applications such as supersonic aircraft, missiles, and high-speed wind tunnels. Supersonic flow can create shock waves and high temperatures, making it challenging to control and design for.


What is an example of supersonic sound?

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.
