Abstract
The behavior of chemical waves advancing through a disordered excitable medium is investigated in terms
of percolation theory and autowave properties in the framework of the light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky
reaction. By controlling the number of sites with a given illumination, different percolation thresholds for
propagation are observed, which depend on the relative wave transmittances of the two-state medium considered.
