Parametric excitation of the electron‐acoustic wave (EAW) has been analysed using a hydrodynamical model. The plasma has been assumed to consist of multiply charged ions. The ratio (α) of the hotter ion concentration to that of the electrons is a sensitive parameter. The condition for the occurrence of the EAW is well satisfied for the smaller values of α. The growth rate of the instability gets enhanced by increasing α and the charge state of the hotter ions. The values of α can be varied within short range only.
