Step 1
Waves are simply disturbances of particles in a medium moving from one point of location to another.
Step 2
Occurrence of Shock Waves
An object moving in a fluid like gas disturbs the particles of the medium which produces waves of some kind.
If the object moving is at a speed greater than that of the speed of sound then it causes a decrement in the flow area abruptly. The waves produced are called Shock waves which occur in small regions in the medium only.
