Theoretical spectrum of the free oscillations of the sun

The spectrum of quadrupole oscillations of polytropic models for the internal structure of the sun is calculated, and the customary scheme for classifying oscillations by p, f, and g modes is discussed. With the oscillations of a standard solar model as an illustration, it is shown that such a classification may cause misunderstanding when observed periods are identified with a theoretical normal-mode spectrum. An auxiliary classification for oscillations of the outer layers is proposed.
