It is known that when scanning a longitudinal magnetic field (<b>B</b> || <b>k</b>, where <b>k</b> is the wavevector), one may observe a magneto-optical resonance due to the ground-state Hanle effect. In addition, the effect of double radio-optical resonance takes place because of the presence of the resonance microwave field. The joint influence of these effects on the formation of a narrow magneto-optical resonance in light wave absorption has been studied theoretically and experimentally. It has been shown analytically that the effects compete with each other and destructively act on the resonance formation. As a result, the amplitude of the resonance is small and its shape is complicated. However, in the presence of a buffer gas the pressure of which is such that the hyperfine splitting of the ground state remains spectrally unresolved, it becomes possible to observe a magneto-optical resonance with a relatively large amplitude. Experiments have been carried out with the use of a miniature glass cell (<i>V</i> ~ 0.1 cm<sup>3</sup>) filled with <sup>87</sup>Rb vapor and a buffer gas argon (a pressure of about 95 Torr).
