Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Supersonic.
· Bullets fired from most firearms travel at supersonic speeds, meaning they move faster than the speed of sound in air (approximately 343 meters per second or 1,125 feet per second at sea level).
· Supersonic bullets create a sonic boom as they break the sound barrier, which is often heard as a sharp crack or snap.
· The actual speed of a bullet can vary depending on the type of firearm and ammunition, but many rifle bullets, for example, can travel at speeds exceeding 1,000 meters per second (over 3,280 feet per second).
Information Booster:
· Infrasonic: Infrasonic refers to sound waves with frequencies below the audible range for humans, not related to speed.
· Hyposonic: This term is not commonly used in the context of speed and does not accurately describe the speed of bullets.
· Subsonic: Subsonic refers to speeds below the speed of sound. While some bullets, particularly those designed for suppressed firearms, may be subsonic, most conventional bullets travel at supersonic speeds.
