Question

need help 1.6.1. In an atomic clock there are approximately 9.193 x 109 oscillations of the specified light emitted by cesium-133 atoms. The text describes the typically accuracy of atomic clocks in terms of two atomic clocks differing by only one second in 6000 years. Assume one of the clocks gains one second in six thousand years, approximately what is the change in the number of oscillations of the light each second? a) +1.970 x 10-9 oscillations's ) +1.970 × 10-9 oscillations's b) +18.11 oscillations/s c) +2.542 × 10-3 oscillations's d) +4.983 oscillations's e) +0.9222 oscillations's

Explanation / Answer

6000 year= 6000*365*24*60*60 s=189.21*10^9 s

Given is 9.193*10^9 oscillations in second

Hence:

X= 189.21*10^9 / 9.193*10^9

X=20.58 oscillations/s
