Question

Shock waves carry ____.

  1. A small amount of energy
  2. A huge amount of energy
  3. Sound waves
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Shock waves carry a huge amount of energy.

The correct answer is: A huge amount of energy


    • Shock waves are waves that have high speed than the waves of sound.
    • They propagate heavier than the sound waves with high pressure.
    • Shock waves carry high energy than other light and sound waves.
