A very nice post has been written by Oracle Ace Director Arup Nanda about the Blocking Locks . It is so simple and brilliantly explained . Check the below link and enjoy reading about basic concepts behind locks . Before going to this link , read my previous post on ITL ( Interested Transaction List) for better understading of this post .

Another Brilliant demo on Blocking lock is explained by "Natalka Roshak" . She has so wonderfully explained . Enjoy reading this link too.
Here, i have added few more query on locks along with it's output . For demo purpose , i have created a table "blck_tab" and locked this table manually and accessing this locked table from other sessions .Let's have a look .
SQL> create table blck_tab (id number , name varchar(22));
Table created.
SQL> insert into blck_tab values(1,'abc');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into blck_tab values(2,'xyz');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into blck_tab values(3,'pqr');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from blck_tab for update ; ----- Table Locked
ID NAME
---------- ----------------------
1 abc
2 xyz
3 pqr
Session 1 :
SQL>conn test1/test1
SQL> update test.blck_tab set name='qwert' where id=3;
--->> Waiter <----
Session 2 :
SQL> conn hr/hr
SQL> delete test.blck_tab where id=1;
--->> Waiter <----
Query to check locks :
(For Non-RAC)
SQL> SELECT SID, DECODE(BLOCK, 0, 'NO', 'YES' ) BLOCKER,
2 DECODE(REQUEST, 0, 'NO','YES' ) WAITER
3 FROM V$LOCK
4 WHERE REQUEST > 0 OR BLOCK > 0
5 ORDER BY block DESC;
SID BLOCKER WAITER
------ ------------ ----------
37 YES NO
34 NO YES
31 NO YES
or
SQL> select l1.sid, ' IS BLOCKING ', l2.sid
2 from gv$lock l1, gv$lock l2
3 where l1.block >0 and l2.request > 0
4 and l1.id1=l2.id1
5 and l1.id2=l2.id2;
SID 'ISBLOCKING' SID
---------- ------------------ --------
37 IS BLOCKING 31
37 IS BLOCKING 34
For RAC
SQL>select distinct s1.username || '@' || s1.machine || ' ( INST=' || s1.inst_id || ' SID=' || s1.sid || ' ) is blocking '|| s2.username || '@' || s2.machine || ' ( INST=' || s1.inst_id || ' SID=' || s2.sid || ' ) ' AS blocking_status from gv$lock l1, gv$session s1, gv$lock l2, gv$session s2 where s1.sid=l1.sid and s2.sid=l2.sid and l1.BLOCK>0 and l2.request > 0and l1.id1 = l2.id1 and l2.id2 = l2.id2 and l1.inst_id = s1.inst_id;
BLOCKING_STATUS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TEST@WORKGROUP\NEERAJ-7D69D37B ( INST=1 SID=37 ) is blocking TEST1@WORKGROUP\NEERAJ-7D69D37B ( INST=1 SID=34 )
TEST@WORKGROUP\NEERAJ-7D69D37B ( INST=1 SID=37 ) is blocking HR@WORKGROUP\NEERAJ-7D69D37B ( INST=1 SID=31 )
Expanded Lock Query

AND vw.lmode = 0
AND vh.sid = vs.sid
AND vw.sid = vsw.sid
AND vh.sid = jrh.session_id(+)
