The author of this selection says atoms of pure elements can create "the perfect clock" if you are able to 12

A measure the size of the atoms.
B count the waves of energy released by the atoms.
C measure the temperature of the atoms.
D count the atoms with a computer.

1 answer

The answer is likely B count the waves of energy released by the atoms.

This option aligns with the idea that atoms of pure elements can exhibit consistent energy transitions, which can be measured in a way that contributes to precise timekeeping, similar to how atomic clocks operate.
