[QUOTE="LmdL, post: 6614273, member: 232683"] Thank you for your reply. I got your point. I have an additional question: let's suppose I place a particle on the z axis (in the waves overlapping area) and restrict it to move along z axis, for example by adding two transparent parallel to z axis plates, one slightly above it and one slightly below. Particle is then confined to one of the modulation wave maxima (similar to optical tweezers). What will happen now? I suppose that if v[SUB]m[/SUB] is below c, the particle will move with that speed along the z axis, being in the area of the modulation maximum it was confined to from the beginning. What if v[SUB]m[/SUB]>c? Particle will "slip" to the next maximum to the left, and then again, and again, and so forth? Is this correct? [/QUOTE]
