What is the relation between velocity of the wave and reflected shock wave?(a) WR = W(b) WR < W(c) WR > W(d) WR × W = ∞This question was addressed to me in final exam.Origin of the question is Reflected Shock Wave topic in chapter Unsteady Wave Motion of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) WR < W

Best explanation: On observing the wave diagram it is often seen that for a good reflected shock wave CHARACTERISTICS, the VELOCITY of the reflected shock wave is smaller than the velocity of the wave (WR < W). THUS, in the wave diagram, the slope of the reflected shock wave PATH is steeper.
