May be dumb question but.. is this normal?

hey everyone hows it going? well i was just wondering if something about my car was normal or not. when im driving and i get on the gas really hard the RPM's just way up and then they drop way back down again. like lets say i was cruzing at 4000 RPMs and i punch it they just to damn near red line then some back down.... let me know if this is normal or whatever it is thanks in advance
