Experimental Observations of Ion-Acoustic Wave Reflection from Discharge-Tube Walls

We have experimentally observed the reflection of ion-acoustic waves from the walls of a discharge tube by a very simple technique. We first excite intense spontaneous oscillations, then rapidly switch to a quiescent mode of operation. The ion-acoustic waves are observed to persist after the transition, but damp away with time.
