Observations of solar oscillations have provided us with detailed information about the solar interior. Here I consider three examples of results obtained in such helioseismic investigations: i) the effect of the equation of state on the comparison between observed and theoretical frequencies; ii) a determination of the depth of the solar convection zone; and iii) indications of deviations from standard models of the structure of the solar core.
