I want to know the answer to the following question:
what is reflected and transmitted into the ground when a plane surface is struck?
All the background I'm provided with is that "If the ground is a very good conductor then almost all of the wave is reflected (180° out of phase), whereas a ground modeled as a (lossy) dielectric can absorb a large amount of the wave's power.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
