Question
What is ground wave communication?
Solution
Ground waves are the radio waves that travel along the surface of the Earth. In-ground wave propagation, a large portion of wave energy is in space near the surface of the Earth. The propagation of the wave is guided along the Earth's surface and follows the curvature of the Earth.
