Q: What is the size of this drift in time? Express it in both a) how long does it take for the signal to drift by 2 hours? The graph shows that the signal drifts by 4 hours over the course of 2 months, so that means it drifts by 2 HOURS IN ONE MONTH. b) how many minutes does it drift per day? To a rough approximations, 2 hours = 120 minutes, and 1 month = 30 days, so the signal drifts by about 4 MINUTES PER DAY.
