The effect of gravity is investigated in this chapter and the importance of the Klein-Gordon equation is demonstrated. The Klein-Gordon equation is solved for impulsive initial conditions and the phenomenon of an oscillating wake demonstrated. Cutoff frequency is determined. Waves in a stratified incompressible medium with a horizontal magnetic field are examined, leading to the Rayleigh-Taylor dispersion relation. The compressible case is related to the topic of magnetic helioseismology. Waves in a vertical magnetic field are also discussed. For this case, the slow mode dispersion relation is obtained and exhibits a cutoff frequency.
