In the present work, the phenomenon of reflection and refraction of homogeneous plane-P1-wave is considered at the plane interface between a thermoelastic solid medium and an unsaturated porothermoelastic medium. Theoretical expressions of amplitude reflectivity/refractivity and energy ratio for all kinds of reflected/refracted waves generated by the incidence of plane-P1-wave are derived by taking into account the boundary conditions. The numerical results are obtained and used to discuss the relationship of amplitude reflectivity/refractivity and energy ratio for all kinds of reflected/refracted waves with the thermophysical parameters such as frequency, incident angle, thermal expansion coefficient and medium temperature. The results show that the amplitude reflectivity/refractivity and energy ratio for each reflected/refracted wave is affected obviously by the incident angle. The thermal expansion coefficient of the thermoelastic solid medium and the unsaturated porothermoelastic medium has different effects on the amplitude reflectivity/refractivity and energy ratio. The change of frequency and medium temperature only affects the amplitude refractivity and energy ratio of refracted P2, P3 and thermal waves and the amplitude reflectivity and energy ratio of reflected thermal wave.
