What sound waves are created when you travel faster than the speed of sound?

Supersonic waves are created when something surpasses the speed of sound, which ranges from 330-350 meters per second (depending on the temperature of the media, etc.) and the loud crack is called a sonic boom. The sonic boom isn't necessarily at the same time that the object breaks the barrier but when the sound wave reaches ones ears. Many sonic booms can be heard from miles away.

Can a sneeze travel faster than the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is faster then the amount of speed a sneeze can generate. The speed of sound travels 741mph while the information that is provided shows a sneeze can travel up to 100mph.
What do you break when you travel faster than the speed of sound?
The sound barrier
Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?
They travel much, much faster than that.
Does sound and light travel at the same speed?
no, light is faster
Does sound travel faster in air in summer or in winter?
Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.
Does sound travel faster in air in winter or summer?
Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.
Does sound travel faster or slower with amplitude?
Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.
What is the answer to what is fatser than the speed of sound?
They are called ultra sonic. They travel faster than sound
How does air tempurature affect the speed of sound?
Sound waves travel through particle vibration, and when the temperature is high, the particles vibrate faster, thus the sound must travel faster with particles.
How does light travel witch is faster light or sound?
Light is much faster then the speed of sound. Sound travels at a speed of about 768 Miles per hour, when light travels at a speed of 186,282 miles per SECOND.
How fast are ultrasonic sound waves?
Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound.

What travels faster airplanes or speed of sound?
The speed of sound does not travel. In the event that an airplane's airspeed is below Mach-1, the speed of sound is faster than the speed of the airplane. On the occasion and at the moment when the true indicated airspeed of an airship or an airplane is in excess of Mach-1, the airplane is at that time traveling faster than the speed of sound.
