Abstract: On the basis of the analogy between solar and stellar flares, the oscillations with periods of tens of seconds observed in the case of the EV Lac in the U and В bands are analyzed. We associated the pulsations of radiations with the fast magnetoacoustic oscillations of coronal arcs. The values of the magnetic field В ≈ 32 mT, temperature Т ≈ 3.7·10 К, and number density n ≈ 1.6·1011 cm3 in the region of the flare energy release are estimated. Some arguments in favour of localization of the optical radiation source at loop footpoints are obtained.
