Abstract

The acoustic overstability in a polytropic plane-parallel atmosphere with superadiabatic temperature gradient and radiative dissipation is demonstrated for optically thick disturbances. The periods of oscillation are found to be in the range 250-480 s and the associated wavelength of the order of 4000 km. The five-minute oscillations in the solar surface are attributed to self-excited sound waves in a layer in the subphotospheric convection zone of about 1000 km thickness.
