11-9 Shock Waves and Sonic Boom Supersonic means traveling faster than the speed of sound…the speed is given as a Mach number … x sos/sos. A shock wave is a very large wave built by constructive interference. The bow-wave of a boat would be an analogy for the shock wave caused by a jet. The angle of the apex of the shock-wave can be found by the equation … q=vsound /vobject
