From a 35-min time series of photographic spectra in the Ca II H-line obtained at the Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT) of the Sacramento Peak Observatory under high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution, we have derived a large number of H-line profiles at the sites of the bright points in the interior of the supergranulation cells, and at the network elements, on a quiet region at the center of the solar disc. It is shown that the bright points are associated with 3-min periodicity in their intensity oscillations whereas the network elements exhibit approximately 7-min periodicity. It is surmised that the large difference in periods of the intensity oscillations, the strength of the magnetic fields, and the intensity enhancements at the sites of the bright points and the network elements themselves may probably be taken as evidence to argue that the mechanisms of heating in the two cases are dissimilar, irrespective of the sizes of these structures.
