Shock Wave
This image of an explosion was captured at the Defence Research and Development Canada, and it shows a strikingly clear depiction of a shock wave blasting out from an explosion A shock wave is essentially a sharp change in pressure travelling through the air as a result of an explosion, or anything that moves faster than the speed of sound. But although you often see a shock wave travel through water, or blast out from the bottom of an explosion, it's very rare to see one so neatly distort the air around an explosion's entire fireball. |
