The theory of shock waves in a hot plasma is reviewed, and the types of shock waves which can exist are summarized. The detailed application of shock wave theory to the explanation of laboratory experiments is described; a comparison is made between the results of these experiments and the observations made of type II radio bursts from the Sun.
