"Unlike ordinary sound waves, the speed of a shock (blast) wave varies with its amplitude. The speed of a shock (blast) wave is always greater than the speed of sound in the fluid and decreases as the amplitude of the wave decreases. When the shock wave speed equals the normal speed, the shock wave dies and is reduced to an ordinary sound wave.
