Template:Associations/Orders of magnitude (time) To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10−2 seconds (sometimes referred to as a centisecond) and 10−1 seconds (10 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.
- shorter times
- 10 milliseconds (10 ms) – cycle time for frequency 100 Hz
(n.b. This is also incorrectly known as a "jiffy", a jiffy is 1/60th of a second)
- 16.7 milliseconds – cycle time for American 60 Hz AC mains grid
- 20 milliseconds – cycle time for European 50 Hz AC mains grid
- 33.3 milliseconds – the amount of time one frame lasts in 30fps video
- 50 milliseconds – cycle time for the lowest audible tone, 20 Hz
- 60 milliseconds – cycle time for European 16.7 Hz AC electrified railroad power grid
- 62.5 milliseconds - a sixty-fourth note at MM = 60
- 30 to 100 milliseconds – typical minimum latency for a broadband internet connection (important for online gaming)
- longer times
