Who invented the Quartz crystal clock?

Warren Marrison, who invented the first quartz clock in 1927.


Why is the time given by quartz clock supposed to be accurate?

The question indicates a basic lack of clock mechanism or electronics knowledge. A quartz clock *can* be horridly IN-accurate if the rest of the mechanism of off kilter. Quartz crystals are used to count time due to their consistent frequency of vibration. And it is a safe and inexpensive application of technology. Radioactive atomic clocks are also used, but you don't want one on your wrist or in your house. - side note: most smoke detectors have a tiny radioactive "source" in them


What does clock rate mean in computing?

Clock rate describes how many impulses per second mainboard quartz crystal generates. These impulses are used as the synchronization source by mainboard components. The clock rate is measured in Herz.


Why do they use quartz in a cell phone?

Because quartz vibrates at a fixed frequency when an electrical current is applied (32,768 Hz) The quartz crystal keeps the phone's clock & calendar accurate, and also provides the 'base' frequency for phone-calls.

What is the meaning of real time crystal in mobile phones?

It's a tiny crystal of quartz that provides a constant input to the clock IC. When stimulated by electricity, quartz oscillates at a steady frequency of 32768 vibrations per second. This known, accurate vibration is used to make the internal clock work.


What and how a quartz clock mechanism works?

A quartz clock is a clock that uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logiccounts the cycles of this signal and provides anumeric time display, usually in units of hours,minutes, and seconds. Since the 1970s, they have become the most widely used timekeeping technology.


Is clock speed is measured in bytes?

No. Clock Speed is measured in Megahertz(MHz)


How reliable and accurate is time clock software?

Time clock software is very reliable and accurate. Unlike the traditional paper version, fellow employees cannot punch in or punch out someone who may or may not be in the office yet. The time is set to real time, therefore the results are more accurate.
