Abstract
The frequency condition for the mixed modes of nonradial stellar oscillations is generally examined by a simple physical model based on a running-wave picture. The coupling coefficient between the gravity-wave oscillation in the core and the acoustic-wave oscillation in the envelope is expressed in terms of the reflection coefficient at the intermediate evanescent region. It is also argued that the eigenmode condition should appropriately be modified if the wave generated near the surface and transmitted to the core is (partially) lost either by damping or scattering in the core. The derived formulae should be helpful in understanding the physics of the mixed modes in general, the origin of the red giants with depressed dipolar modes, and the effect of radiative damping in the core of the red giant stars.
