Estampido sónico

The video explains the phenomenon of sonic booms, which occur when an object travels faster than the speed of sound, creating a loud noise due to the accumulation of sound waves into a shock wave. It discusses how the speed of sound varies in different media, being slowest in gases and fastest in solids. Airplanes can travel faster than sound, producing shock waves and sonic booms. Under certain conditions, breaking the sound barrier can create visible vapor clouds.
