[time-nuts] Rb resonance

The second is defined in terms of the Cs133 resonance- hence there is an integer number of Hz in the resonance frequency viz. 9192 631 770 Hz. But what about the Rb resonance frequency? It is always quoted as being an integer number of Hz as well- viz 6834 682 608 Hz. Is there some aspect of

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Dave Brown writes: Or is the Rb resonance frequency, which is generally quoted as above, actually rounded to be an integer number of Hz for convenience? Perhaps a set of environmental conditions need to be specified as well? Well, for it to have more significant

The second is defined in terms of the Cs133 resonance- hence there is an integer number of Hz in the resonance frequency viz. 9192 631 770 Hz. A definition doesn't imply it has to be an integer. An inch, for example, is defined to be 25.4 mm. The cesium 9192631770 value looks like an

Hi, I have placed raw 200DPI 8bit GIFs of the HP103AR manual on my website. There's no index file; the scans are at: http://www.nixiebunny.com/hp103ar/hp103ar01.gif through http://www.nixiebunny.com/hp103ar/hp103ar39.gif so you can wget them easily. The files average 2 megabytes each, so
