Abstract
Using intermediate degree p mode frequency data sets for solar cycle 22, we find that the frequency shifts and magnetic indices show a `hysteresis' phenomenon. It is observed that the magnetic indices follow different paths for the ascending and descending phases of the solar cycle, the descending path always seems to follow a higher track than the ascending one. However, for the radiative indices, the paths cross each other indicating phase reversal.
