Atomic clocks are highly precise timekeeping devices that use the vibrations of atoms to measure time. The principle behind atomic clocks is based on the idea that atoms emit or absorb electromagnetic radiation at very specific frequencies when they transition between energy levels. By counting these oscillations, atomic clocks can achieve exceptional accuracy. The most commonly used atoms in atomic clocks are cesium and rubidium.
