Two atomic clocks are allowed to run for 100 years and they differ by 0.1s only. What will be the accuracy of standard atomic clock in measuring 1s? |

Answer» SOLUTION :Given,time, t= 100 years `=(100xx365+24)` days (24 days ADDED DUE to 24 leap years in 100 years) t= 36524 days `= 36524xx86400s` Also, `""trianglet=0.1s` Fractional error in masurment of time `(trianglet)/(t)=(0.1)/(36524xx86400)=0.32xx10^(-10)` Accuracy shown by atomic clock is `0.32xx10^(-10)` part in 1s. |
