Question

A maser in a laser-type device that produces electromagnetic waves with frequencies in the microwave and radio-wave bonds of the electromagnetic spectrum, You can use the radio waves generated by a hydrogen maser as a standard of frequency. The frequency of these waves is 1.420, 405, 751,786 hertz. (A hertz is another name for one cycle per second) A clock controlled by a hydrogen maser is off by only 1 s in 100, 000 years. (The large number of significant figures given for the frequency simply illustrates the accuracy to which it has been measured.) How many cycles occur in 7 b? Express your answer using three significant figures. Part C How many cycles would have occurred during the age of the earth, which is estimated to be 4.6 times 10^8 years? Express your answer using three significant figures. Part D By how many seconds would a hydrogen maser clock be off after a time interval equal to the age of the earth? Express your answer using three significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

you have got all parts except c ,so i am only answerinf prt

t=4.6*109*365*24*60*60=1.45*1017 s

number of cycles

N=1.45*1017/(7.04*10-10)=2.06*1026 cycles
