What element is used to make atomic clocks?
The atom of the isotope caesium 133; the definition of second in SI is based on this atom.
Used in the making of atomic clocks that lose one second every 300 years?
Cesium
One of the most metallic metals named for its sky blue spectral lines atomic clocks using this element are accurate to 5 sec in 300 years or 1 sec in 60 years?
The element used in highly accurate atomic clocks is cesium. It is radioactive and has a well-know half life. This element seems to work the best in this manner.
What is the most common use for caesium?
Caesium (Cesium in American English), one of three metals that is in the liquid form at room temperature is most commonly used in atomic clocks. Historically, the most important use for cesium has been in research and development, primarily in chemical and electrical applications. It is also used in photoelectric cells.
Element used in photoelectric cells and in atomic clocks?
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What is the commercial use of cesium?
One use of cesium is in atomic clocks.
What element is used to make very accurate atomic clocks?
strontium or cesium
What element is used to make atomic clocks?
The atom of the isotope caesium 133; the definition of second in SI is based on this atom.
Used in the making of atomic clocks that lose one second every 300 years?
Cesium
What element which is used in atomic clocks and photocells melts at temperatures slightly above room temperature?
Cesium
What is used in making atomic clocks that lose one second every 300 years?
Perhaps caesium (cesium) is the answer.
One of the most metallic metals named for its sky blue spectral?
One of the most metallic metals is cesium. It is named for its sky blue spectral lines. Cesium is used in atomic clocks.
How do atomic clocks keep time?
Instead of pendulums and gears or even quartz crystals, atomic clocks use the vibration between the nucleus and electrons of atoms -- usually cesium atoms -- to set the interval we use to measure time passing.
What does the atomic clock use to operate?
Atomic clocks are currently considered the most accurate way of keeping time. They use the resonance frequencies of atoms such as Cesium in order to operate.
Common uses for cesium?
•Cesium is used as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of certain organic compounds. •Cesium fluoride is widely used in organic chemistry as a base and as a source of anhydrous fluoride ion. •They are used in Atomic Clocks. •They are also used in the Brachytherapy treatment
How can international time-standard clocks be regulated by atomic vibrations that are accurate to 1 second on 80 million years?
The best of these are currently the 'cesium fountain' atomic clocks in which the cesium atoms, and their atomic spectral emissions, is cooled to close to absolute zero (to minimise thermal effects). These can reach stability of the order of 3 parts in 10(-16). The atomic clock at NIST in the US is of this type. (And in UK, and France etc.) Which is equivalent to an uncertainty of 1 second in 100 million years.
What can be made from cesium and francium?
Francium hasn't applications.Caesium applications:- drilling fluids- atomic clocks- centrifugation fluids- electronics- catalyst- gamma emitter (Cs-137)etc.
