The Rayleigh-Taylor instability for an interface separating two compressible media was investigated in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field. In incompressible fluids for the disturbances perpendicular to the direction of H, the magnetic field does not affect the development of Rayleigh- Taylor instability, but in case of compressible fluids the magnetic field affects the development of Rayleigh-Taylor instability for such disturbances also. The critical wave number below which Rayleigh modes do not exist is found. Thus the magnetic field has a stabilizing effect on Rayleigh-Taylor disturbances. (auth)
