The solar atmosphere, from the photosphere to the corona, is structured by the presence of magnetic fields. We consider the nature of such inhomogeneity and emphasis that the usual picture of hydromagnetic wave propagation in a uniform medium may be misleading if applied to a structured field. We in

โฆ Synopsis
Phase-speed diagrams, showing the allowable spectrum of surface and body waves in a magnetically structured atmosphere, are constructed for the interface and the slab. The diagrams (illustrated for photospheric flux tubes, photosphere-chromosphere magnetic canopy, and coronal conditions) classify disturbances for both the normal modes of a structure and incident wave propagation on a structure, allowing a simple application once sufficiently detailed observations of waves become available.

Magnetic fields may introduce structure (inhomogeneity) into an otherwise uniform medium and thus change the nature of wave propagation in that medium. As an example of such structuring, wave propagation in an isolated magnetic slab is considered. It is supposed that disturbances outside the slab ar
