Abstract
Many stellar model calibrations against seismic data will utilize just the so-called large and small frequency separations. In this report I explain in physical terms, based on resonance conditions for constructive interference between simple waves, why those frequency separations depend on the variation of sound speed through the star in the manner in which they do. By so doing I hope to increase appreciation of the nature of the stellar calibrations, and thereby provide a means for assessing the credibility of the results.
