Sonic Boom
When a plane pushes through a shockwave it creates a sonic boom. The noise is the result of breaking through the air waves which form in front of a fast moving plane. The sonic boom sounds when the plane is going faster than 760 MPH.

n charanpreet also puts up just trivia questions...minimal fundae...minimal sports...!!!
its a real shame that charanpreet put up a real dampner of a show this time around...
n nt only him...my buddies from other places where ims quiz was held say the same...infact one of the winners in a city say ditto!!
I attended IMS Quotient 2007 , qualified for the mumbai city finals, didn't win and came back feeling that the quiz should be remaned IMS Cinema Quotient.
This year, again I qualified for the city finals, and came away feeling that it should be renamed IMS Cinema and Rock Band Quotient. Sheesh...how many questions on Hollywood, the Oscars, Rock music, rock bands, the Beatles..it was like the entire quiz was one big THEME round.
PS: forgive the rant.
