Abstract: Waves are thought to play a fundamental role in the heating processes of the chromosphere and corona of the Sun and other cool stars. Of particular interest are periodic motions in so called flux tubes, elements of concentrated magnetic field. We investigate the influence of kink waves in flux tubes on polarized line profiles and demonstrate that they have a large effect. This should help us to set limits on the energy flux in such waves.
