The ion acoustic wave response to an impulse disturbance is experimentally examined for two different exciting mechanisms. The differences and similarities are noted for the double-plasma (D-P) and plate excitation methods. The observed response agrees well with that predicted from a self-similar study of a fluid equation model which includes the effects of Poisson's equation.
