The precisely measured frequencies of solar oscillations provide us with a unique tool to probe the solar interior with sufficient accuracy. These frequencies are principally determined by the dynamical quantities like sound speed, density or the adiabatic index of the solar material and a primary inversion of the observed frequencies yields the sound speed and density profiles inside the Sun (Gough et al. 1996). The equations of thermal equilibrium enable us to determine the temperature and chemical composition profiles, but for this additional prescriptions regarding the input physics (i.e., opacities, equation of state and nuclear energy generation rate) are required (Shibahashi 1993; Antia & Chitre 1995; Shibahashi & Takata 1996; Kosovichev 1996). This information in turn can be used to calculate the neutrino fluxes, and the seismic models can thus be used to explore the possibility of an astrophysical solution to the solar neutrino problem (Roxburgh 1996; Antia & Chitre 1997).
