Question

sonic A sonic depth finder can easily determine the depth of a lake by bouncing a sound signal off the bottom. ˈsɑnɪk

Accepted Answer

(1) Having to do with sound. (2) Having to do with the speed of sound in air (about 750 miles per hour). A sonic boom is an explosive sound created by a shock wave formed at the nose of an aircraft. In 1947 a plane piloted by Chuck Yeager burst the “sound barrier” and created the first sonic boom. In the decades afterward sonic booms became a familiar sound to Americans. (Because of steps that were eventually taken, sonic booms are rarely heard anymore.) Today sonic is often used by ambitious rock musicians to describe their experimental sounds.
