Male mosquitoes in the mood for mating find female mosquitoes of their own species by listening for the characteristic "buzzing" frequency of the female's wing beats. This frequency is about 620 wing beats per second. How many cycles of oscillation does the radiation from a cesium-133 atom complete during one mosquito wing beat?

    Given: buzzing frequency = 620 wing beats / second

    cesium-133 atom = 9,192,631,770 cycles / second

    Dividing the number of cesium-133 atom cycles by the amount of wing beats, the following is obtained:

    (9,192,631,770 cycles / second) / (620 wing beats / second)

    14,826,825.44 cycles / wing beat
