Abstract
Experimental observations on the reflection and refraction of a planar ion-acoustic soliton from a metallic mesh electrode are performed in a uniform double-plasma device. Reflection and refraction angles are observed to depend on the incident wave amplitude, showing a nonlinear Snell's law.
