Abstract
We have studied the dynamics of acoustic and MHD waves in the solar atmosphere using a one-dimensional, non-LTE, radiation magneto-hydrodynamic code, with 6 level model atoms for hydrogen and singly ionized calcium. We drive waves by a piston through an initial atmosphere in radiative equilibrium. We report on the effects of radiative energy loss on the waves, the effects of shocks on line formation, and the behavior of typical diagnostics in a dynamic atmosphere.
