Boundaries between domains of traveling waves are studied in convection in an 8{percent} mixture of ethanol and water. A configuration is described in which rolls move in opposite directions on either side of a domain wall. Demodulation techniques are used to measure the interaction of waves across the boundary. It is found that rolls approaching the boundary with an oblique angle of incidence are reflected from the boundary. The reflection coefficient and the attenuation of the reflected wave are measured. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
