Part B
A maser is a laser-type device that produces
electromagnetic waves with frequencies in the
microwave and radio-wave bands 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 1s in
100,000 years. (The large number of significant
figures given for the frequency simply illustrates the
remarkable accuracy to which it has been
measured.)
