\end{equation}  This field strength approximately corresponds to the point at which the Alfv\'en speed becomes larger than the radial group velocity of gravity waves.  Magneto-gravity waves become evanescent in regions where the radial magnetic field strength exceeds the critical value of equation \ref{eqn:Bc}. Low-frequency gravity waves cannot exist in these regions because magnetic tension overwhelms the buoyancy force, i.e., the stiff field lines cannot be bent by the placid gravity wave motion. {\bf Magneto-gravity waves are evanescent{\bf  when }$\omega $\omega  < \omega_{\rm MG}$,{\bf  where the magneto-gravity frequency} frequency  $\omega_{\rm MG}$ is defined as as}  \begin{equation}  \label{eqn:maggrav}  \omega_{\rm MG} = \bigg[ \frac{2}{\pi} \frac{B_r^2 N^2}{\rho r^2} \bigg]^{1/4} \, .
