Do you know what is sonic boom?
When an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound,it creates such a strong shock wave that it is heard on ground as a sonic boom.Sonic booms produce abundant amounts of sound energy.Sonic boom is associated with shock wave.The shock wave starts at the nose of the aircraft and ends at the tail.When a supersonic aircraft creates a series of pressure waves in front of it and hitting the waves in front before they cannot get out of the way of each other,the successive waves are forced together or getting mixed up.This is how sonic boom is created. Longer aircraft spread out their booms more than smaller ones, which leads to a less powerful boom.
