Frequency Standard
A frequency standard is a stable oscillator used for frequency calibration or reference. A frequency standard generates a fundamental frequency with a high degree of accuracy and precision. Harmonics of this fundamental frequency are used to provide reference points. Since time is the reciprocal of frequency, it is relatively easy to derive a time standard from a frequency standard. A standard clock comprises a frequency standard, a device to count off the cycles of the oscillation emitted by the frequency standard, and a means of displaying or outputting the result. Frequency standards in a network or facility are sometimes administratively designated as ''primary'' or ''secondary''. The terms ''primary'' and ''secondary'', as used in this context, should not be confused with the respective technical meanings of these words in the discipline of precise time and frequency. Frequency reference A frequency reference is an instrument used for providing a stable frequency of so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

There are no exact times for when morning begins (also true of evening and night) because it can vary according to one's lifestyle and the hours of daylight at each time of year.
