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.
When a sound wave hits a barrier, several things can happen: it can be absorbed by the barrier, reflected back, transmitted through the barrier (if it's not solid), or diffracted around the barrier. The actual outcome depends on the properties of both the barrier and the sound wave.
When a sound wave bends around a barrier so you can still hear the sound even though you can't see the source, it has undergone diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when the wave encounters an obstacle or aperture that causes it to change direction and spread out.
The amount of diffraction that occurs when a sound wave encounters a barrier depends on the wavelength of the wave. Wavelength determines how much the wave bends around the obstacle, with longer wavelengths diffracting more than shorter wavelengths.

The reflected sound wave is called an echo.
