Markstein theory of stability of laminar flames is shown to be supported by experimental results on oscillated laminar propane-air flames. Disturbances in appropriate wavelength ranges grow and distort while for other ranges disturbances are damped. These facts imply important restrictions on the nature of a turbulent flame and its interaction with the surrounding flow field.
