Shock waves are a type of disturbance that moves faster than the local speed of sound in a medium. They can occur in various contexts, including physics, engineering, and even biology. Here are some key points about shock waves: \#\#\# Characteristics: 1. **Supersonic Speed**: Shock waves propagate at supersonic speeds, meaning they travel faster than the speed of sound in the medium through which they are moving.
