Scientific paper

A set of linear solutions of the nonadiabatic radial wave equation has been calculated for a model solar photosphere. Two constants of integration were determined by comparing the properties of linear combinations of the solutions with observational evidence. In this way approximate combinations were found which accommodate all solar oscillation data relating to the photosphere without completely specifying theoretically the boundary conditions. The amplitude functions so determined include both of the relevant independent solutions of the basic equations. As a consequence, an approximate representation has been found which specifies in the photosphere the boundary conditions that are required in linear pulsation theory to yield eigenfunctions consistent with observations. These solutions are not valid in the chromosphere-corona, where the assumptions upon which they depend break down, but they do provide potential information concerning the reflection and transmission properties of the upper atmosphere.
