What is the shape of the shock wave formed over a cone in a supersonic flow? Correct Answer Conical shock

When a cone having semi vertex angle θc is kept in an incoming supersonic flow, then there is a formation of shock wave. This is an oblique shock wave which has the shape of the cone and the streamlines downstream of the shock are not immediately parallel to the surface.
