Appendix — How the cesium atomic clock works
How does the cesium atomic clock define the second to 1 part in 10 billion? From atomic resonance to GPS and global telecommunications.
A collection of short university-level physics articles — deep dives on topics from Halliday, introductions to supplementary material, and explorations of subjects outside the standard syllabus that are still worth reading for a physics undergraduate.
