The propagation of waves in a magnetic slab embedded in a magnetic environment is investigated. The possible modes of propagation are examined from thegeneraldispersion relation, both analytically and numerically, for disturbances which are evanescent in the environment. Approximate dispersion relations governing propagation in aslenderslab of field are derived both from the general dispersion relation and from an application of the slender flux tube approximation.Several different situations, representative of both photospheric and coronal conditions, are considered. In general, the structures are found to support both fast and slow,bodyandsurface, waves. Under coronal conditions, for two dimensional propagation, disturbances propagate as fast and slow body waves. The fast body waves are analogous to the ducted shear waves of seismology (Love waves).
