Browsing: Atomic Clock
Atomic clocks are highly precise timekeeping devices that measure time based on the natural vibration frequencies of atoms. The most common type of atomic clock uses cesium atoms, which resonate at extremely stable frequencies, providing an accuracy that does not vary by more than one second in millions of years. These clocks work by measuring the electromagnetic signals that atoms emit when they change energy levels. Due to their precision, atomic clocks are crucial for various applications, including global positioning systems (GPS), telecommunications, and in the synchronization of networks and large data systems. They also play a vital role in scientific research, particularly in the fields of quantum mechanics and relativity, where precise timing is essential for experiments and validations of theories.
