Abstract
The theory of the damping of the magnetosonic wave due to resonance mode conversion is extended to include finite omega / Omega i effects. Mode conversion is limited by the evanescence of the magnetosonic wave between its turning point and the Alfven resonance. The finite frequency effects change the damping by modifying the wave fields at resonance and their rate of evanescence between the magnetosonic wave turning point and the Alfven resonance.
