Summary
For the indication of a shock wave in a shock tube light beam refraction on the interface of media of different densities is used. Prom the view point of uniqueness of the indication of the position of a shock wave the interaction of the light beam with the shock wave is discussed and the effect of relaxation processes in the vicinity of the shock wave on the curvature of the beam is considered. Appropriate geometrical lay-out can assure the directional selectivity of the indicating system that enables to distinguish the primary and the reflected shock wave.
