Definition
  1. Adjective:
    • Relating to sound or sound waves: "sonic" describes anything pertaining to audible sound or the speed at which sound travels.
    • Having a speed equal to the speed of sound: "sonic" is used to describe speeds, especially of objects, that are approximately equal to the speed of sound in air at sea level.
Usage Examples
  • Adjective:
    • The scientists studied the sonic properties of the new material. (They examined how the material interacts with sound waves.)
    • The jet broke the sound barrier, creating a loud sonic boom. (The loud noise was caused by the aircraft reaching the speed of sound.)
Advanced Usage
  • "sonic velocity": the speed of sound in a particular medium.
    • The rocket must exceed sonic velocity to enter the next phase of flight.
  • "sonic signature": the unique pattern of sound produced by an object or event.
    • The navy can identify submarines by their unique sonic signature.
Variants and Related Words
  • Subsonic (adj): slower than the speed of sound.
    • Most commercial airplanes fly at subsonic speeds.
  • Supersonic (adj): faster than the speed of sound.
    • The supersonic jet crossed the ocean in just a few hours.
  • Ultrasonic (adj): relating to sound waves with a frequency above the range of human hearing.
    • Doctors use ultrasonic waves for medical imaging.
Synonyms
  • Acoustic: relating to sound or the sense of hearing. (Note: "Acoustic" often refers to sound in general or to instruments without electronic amplification, while "sonic" is more technical and often relates to speed or waves.)
  • Auditory: relating to the sense of hearing.
Related Phrases
  • Sonic barrier: another term for the sound barrier, the sudden increase in drag as an object approaches the speed of sound.
    • The pilot prepared the aircraft to pierce the sonic barrier.
  • Sonic hedgehog: a specialized term in genetics and biology for a protein that plays a key role in embryonic development.
    • Mutations in the sonic hedgehog gene can cause developmental disorders.
