Eigenfrequencies are calculated for nonradial p mode oscillations in the sun. These frequencies are shown to depend on the adiabat of the solar convective envelope. The frequency dependence is greatest for the p2 and p3 modes described by spherical harmonics with l = 500 to 1000. The solar envelope model includes a realistic representation of the chromosphere out to the base of the corona. For the chromospheric model of Vernazza, Avrett, and Loeser (1976) chromospheric modes with a distinct locus of eigenfrequencies exist near an eigenfrequency of 0.026 Hz. The actual frequencies of these eigenmodes depend on the thickness of the chromosphere. Because of the difference in the dependence of eigenfrequency on l for the chromospheric modes as compared with the p modes, the two types of mode can be distinguished observationally. If detected, the chromospheric modes would provide a good way of determining the thickness of the chromosphere.
