  1. Atomic Clocks Samantha Walker 2cd period 10-19-10

  2. Atomic clocks have a higher frequency than most clocks. This means that the atomic clock can reset itself and all you have to do is change your batteries.

  3. Cesium Atomic Clocks

  4. Cesium Atomic Clocks • Cesium atomic clocks are used because they have a higher frequency than other clocks. • Cesium clocks are one type of atomic clocks. • It is believed that cesium is the best atom to choose because of it’s frequency.

  5. Molecular Oscillations

  6. Molecular Oscillations • Molecular oscillations is what controls the clocks • Without these the clocks wouldn’t work.

  7. Frequency of atomic clocks.

  8. Frequency • The frequency of the atomic clock is higher then most clocks. • The frequency in this clock can reset itself each time, all you ever have to do is change the batteries.

  9. This was my project on atomic clocks and how they have higher frequency then most clocks . They are the most used clocks because they reset themselves and all you have to do is change the batteries . All over America this is the clock that is being used. THE END!
