  Waves are observed at all layers of the solar atmosphere and the magnetic
field plays a key role in their propagation. While deep down in the atmosphere
the p-modes are almost entirely of acoustic nature, in the upper layers
magnetic forces are dominating, leading to a large variety of new wave modes.
Significant advances have been made recently in our understanding of the
physics of waves interaction with magnetic structures, with the help of
analytical theories, numerical simulations, as well as high-resolution
observations. In this contribution, we review recent observational findings and
current theoretical ideas in the field, with an emphasis on the following
questions: (i) Peculiarities of the observed wave propagation in network, plage
and facular regions; (ii) Role of the mode transformation and observational
evidences of this process; (iii) Coupling of the photosphere, chromosphere, and
above by means of waves propagating in magnetic structures.
