1 E-3 s

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10⁻³ seconds and 10⁻² seconds (1 millisecond to 10 milliseconds). A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. See also times of other orders of magnitude.

• shorter times
• 1 millisecond (1 ms) – cycle time for frequency 1 kHz
• 1 millisecond – duration of light for typical photo flash strobe
• 1 millisecond – repetition interval of GPS C/A PN code
• 1.000692286 milliseconds – time taken for light to travel 300 km in a vacuum
• 2 milliseconds – half life of hassium-265
• 2.27 milliseconds – cycle time for the A above middle C in music (440 Hz); if a tuning device for musical instruments generates just one tone, it is probably this tone
• 3 milliseconds – a housefly’s wing flap
• 3.4 milliseconds – half life of meitnerium-266
• 5 milliseconds – a honeybee’s wing flap
• 8 milliseconds – camera shutter speed at setting 125
• 9 milliseconds – typical maximum seek time for a 7200rpm hard disk
• longer times
