Chapter 0, Problem 1P

To determine

The waiting time before the clocks’ reading differed by 1 s.

Answer to Problem 1P

  ${10}^{13}$ Seconds.

Explanation of Solution

Given Data:

There are two atomic clocks and one runs faster than the other by 1 part in ${10}^{13}$ .

Formula Used :

Difference in one second = $\frac{1}{{10}^{13}}$

Calculation:

Which means for a 1 s difference it takes ${10}^{13}$ seconds.

Conclusion:

The waiting time is ${10}^{13}$ seconds.
