      Thanks. I use a NTG4+ and place it as close as possible, a mixture of above and below frame. I'm not sure why my audio still doesn't sound great. My house has a lot of hard surfaces though which is the only thing I can think of.

    The best explanation I've found so far. Also very accurate, most other sources are not. They say they "9,192,631,770 vibrations of Caesium atoms" which is incorrect and very confusing. It is "9,192,631,770 oscillations of the radiation that excites caesium atoms". Thanks for this!

      Thanks FeRo00o71! That is a huge compliment, I'm a big fan of Vsauce. Its tough starting out as a new channel and I don't do much promotion at the moment, need to do more for sure. Every subscriber helps though so please share with your friends! Thanks for the support! Dom

    I have an exam on atomic and molecular physics coming on and today I was reading the notes of the professor. But when I saw that next topic was on atomic clocks I just thought: let me TH-cam that to gain some motivation.
    You gave me the motivation to continue reading and not to be lazy, thanks!

  • @JanosZakarias
    @JanosZakarias 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Excellent video! But something's not clear: how do the convert the oscillation of the quartz crystal (32,768Hz) to the frequency of the cesium atom's resonance frequency (9,192,631,770Hz) in the radio wave transmitter? At 4:02 you say the transmitter will transmit at 32kHz, but to 'excite' the cesium atoms the frequency needs to be it's resonance frequency (what you show at 4:33). Is there a missing step?

    wouldn't there be a small error that accumulates everytime the cessium corrects the radio waves?

  • @johnfrancisdoe1563
    @johnfrancisdoe1563 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lots of small mistakes in this video. GPS doesn't work as you say, although parts of Galileo might. Cs-133 has more than one frequency in that range, so the clock has to check if it hit the right one. Also, the Cs-133 can't be vibrated all the time, so they they turn it off for a bit while keeping the tuned quarts running. Oh and while the NIST click may run incredibly close to the speed in the spec, that speed is slightly wrong, which is why we need leap seconds every few years to make it actually right.

  • @AlpacaZ
    @AlpacaZ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There's something I don't understand 100% here. The fact that Caesium resonates at that frequency and that frequency is exactly 1 second blows my mind. I understand that that frequency was defined to be a second but, when they decided to make that specific frequency a second, they used their previous definition of a second to come up with that number, correct?... I'm just wondering... Did they come up with that number AND by coincidence it was also the resonant frequency of Caesium, or did they have a close number and decided to round it to the Caesium's resonant frequency?

  • @mileycyrus9730
    @mileycyrus9730 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The real question is if there was no reliable source that expressed 1 Sec how did scientists know that 9 192 631 770 oscillations of a caesium atom is equal to 1 Sec???
