Atomic Force Microscopy - Lateral vs. Depth Resolution
Thanks for your response! Combined with this article, I think I understand now. Also, thanks for catching the typo - edited the post to correct it :).

Why cannot we add a scalar to a vector of the same dimensions?
Interesting - could you say more, even just briefly?

Do sound waves deflect off of a charged plate in ion-filled liquid?
Ah, so a changing voltage will affect the sound wave. That's exactly what I was wondering. Thanks!

Ah, so I was thinking that the voltage might change how ions are distributed the solution, and might therefore affect the sound wave. I'm curious about the question: when the voltage is switched on and then off, will there be a difference in the sound wave because of the way the charges are distributed?

My understanding is that sound is a traveling wave through a medium, so water molecules are bumping into each other as the wave travels. Is that correct? If there are charges in the water that are bumping around as well, and charges experience a force from nearby voltages, I'm wondering if the nearby charges in the water will experience a change in behavior, and transmit that change to the traveling wave.
