Description
It is proposed that the Li abundances in F-type stars can be affected by
the weak mixing generated by internal gravity waves since the absence of
Li is so strong among this spectral type. The mixing mechanism caused by
the waves is describe theoretically and is applied to the F-stars
because of the inherent similarity of the Li gap. The wave-energy flux
is found to grow with age, the flux values of the Li and Be burning
layers are similar, and the resulting predictions for young stellar
systems are compatible with observational data.
