Abstract
Acoustic waves are those waves which travel with the speed of sound through a medium. H. Lamb (1909, 1910) had derived a cutoff frequency for stratified and isothermal medium for the propagation of acoustic waves. In order to find the cutoff frequency many methods were introduced after Lamb's work. In this paper, we have chosen the turning point frequency method following Musielak et.al(2006) Routh et. al.(2014) to determine cutoff frequencies for acoustic waves propagating in non-isothermal medium which can be applied to various atmospheres like solar atmosphere, stellar atmosphere, earth's atmosphere etc. Here, we have analytically derived the cutoff frequency and have analyzed and compared with the Lamb's cut-off frequency for earth's troposphere.
