one of my students asks if a second shockwave is created when a plane slows down from a supersonic flight. I think this can be a good answer; a continuous shock wave created at equal or above the speed of sound. when it slows down from the speed of sound vibrations downgrade and the shockwave is...

didn't know that thanks, I mean supersonic

I have been teaching physics in a high school.

when an electron is excited to the conduction band is it move further from the nucleus? Are free electrons in the conduction band further from valence electrons? I saw this picture that seems problematic to me. what do you think?

Is it results in a new shockwave or does the shockwave continuously created by hypersonic flight suddenly disappear? I guess slowing down from hypersonic speed will cause a lot of vibration on the plane.

light does interference pattern with a single slit, but matter doesn't. What happens to Bohr's wavelength? What happens to the wave-particle duality of matter?

If emw spectrum is continuous, possible wavelengths should be infinite and there should be fraction of frequencies like 25,2 hertz. Well is there a fractional frequency of light? In high school when we are teaching interference of light we say "only the same wavelength of lights interfere with...

Does matter (like electrons) diffract at the single slit and create an interference pattern on the screen? If it's not why? Isn't that violation of Bohr's Theory?
