Question

multiple choice question
as a plane flying greater than the speed of sound forms a cone - shaped shock wave behind it, the cone creates a(n)______as the plane passes.
o electrical discharge
o sonic boom
o resonant frequency
o thunder cloud

Explanation:

When an object (like a plane) moves faster than the speed of sound, it forms a cone - shaped shock wave. This shock wave results in a sonic boom. An electrical discharge is related to electricity (not sound - speed phenomena). Resonant frequency is about the frequency of an object vibrating at maximum amplitude (not relevant here). A thunder cloud is a weather phenomenon (not related to supersonic flight shock waves).

Answer:

sonic boom
