Teela was still alive because the sonic fold had had a built-in standing-wave characteristic.

The standing-wave mode is different than the wavelength of the laser, and was tuned to produce resonant mechanical vibrations in the cavity.

-
Atoms situated in the periodic potential created by standing-wave laser fields constitute a novel experimental system which gives access to a wide range of challenging physical problems.
-
If any of these dimensions are the same, or multiples of each other (such as an 8 'ceiling in a 16'-long room), the harmonic progressions will coincide across the hoard, and the standing-wave problems will be at least twice as had.
