Abstract: The influence of a nanosecond spark discharge on the oblique impact of a steel sphere with a flat iron plate was experimentally studied. It has been found that the angle of reflection of the sphere upon collision with the discharge becomes less than the angle of approach, while, in the case of a normal collision without a discharge, on the contrary, the angle of reflection is greater than the angle of approach.

Keywords: collision of solid bodies, spark discharge, angles of incidence and reflection.
