The systematic patterns of separations between frequencies of modes of different degree and order are a characteristic of p-mode oscillations of stars. The frequency separations depend on the internal structure of the star and so measuring them in the observed oscillation spectra of variable stars gives valuable diagnostics of the interior of a star. Roxburgh & Vorontsov proposed using the ratio of the so-called small frequency separation to the large frequency separation as a diagnostic of the stellar interior, and demonstrated that this ratio was less sensitive than the individual frequency separations themselves to uncertain details of the near-surface structure. Here we derive kernels relating the frequency separation ratio to structure, and show why the ratio is relatively insensitive to the near-surface structure in terms of the very small amplitude of the kernels in the near-surface layers. We also investigate the behaviour of the separation ratio for stars of different masses and ages, and demonstrate the usefulness of the ratio in the so-called asteroseismic Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
