Exactly.  That's just what I said.  The particular electrostatic resonance I
am working on occurs within the medium of free electrons on the metal, not
the molecular or atomic structure of the metal.  For this reason, your
assumption that the equation should use the speed of sound through the metal
is wrong.  It is the speed of the displacement in the free electrons that I
am measuring.
