The study of hydromagnetic waves in inhomogeneous magnetic fields is important for delimiting various plasma effects in the solar atmosphere. The present investigation of the effect of compressibility on hydromagnetic surface wave propagation takes into account the dispersion equation for the modes as a function of the compressibility factor for the general wave propagation direction. It is pointed out that there is the possibility that both slow and fast magnetosonic surface waves exist along a magnetic interface between two compressible conducting media. The variation of the phase velocities of the fast and slow surface waves as a function of the compressibility factor for different angles is shown in a graph.
