For a wedge and cone of same half angle, the shock wave formed at the cone is weaker.

For a wedge and cone of same half angle, the shock wave formed at the cone is weaker. Correct Answer True

One of the consequences of 3 – dimensional relieving effect in a cone is that the shock waves formed are weaker in comparison to the waves formed over the wedge with same half angle kept at the same incoming flow velocity.
