This clock is based on periodic vibration produced in a cesium atom
In the cesium atomic clock the second is taken as the time needed for 9,192,631,770 vibration of the radiation corresponding transition bet. The 2 hyperfine states of cesium- 133 atom

cesium atomic clock works basically on oscillations of cesium atoms
frequency of oscillation of atoms are around several trillions per second or we can say that the time period is of the order of 10^-14 seconds this is equivalent to error of one second in 3 crore years.Hence it is a very accurate clock
hope it helped u☺
