Answer: (a)

A shock wave is a type of propagating disturbance. Like an ordinary wave, it carries energy and can propagate through a medium (solid, liquid, gas or plasma) or in some cases in the absence of a material medium. Across a shock wave there is always an extremely rapid rise in pressure, temperature and density of the flow.

Ultrasound is sound with a frequency greater than the upper limit of human hearing (greater than 20 kHz).
