Question

Differentiate quartz clock and atomic clock.

Answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

What are atomic clocks? Atomic clocks are actually quartz clocks—just like the ones you have at home. The difference is that an ordinary quartz clock relies purely on the oscillations of its quartz crystal to count seconds.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Quartz clock and atomic clock are different types of clocks. Atomic clocks are quartz clocks.

• The atomic clock works on the base of the frequency of light.
• The frequency of light is emitted when an atom changes its one energy state to another.
• Different atoms run at different rates is the base of atomic clocks.
• Quartz clocks functioning depends on an electronic oscillator. A quartz crystal regulates electronic oscillators.
• Quartz clocks are simply timepieces.
