One millisecond is one-thousandth of a second.


To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10−3 seconds and 10−2 seconds (1.0 to 10 milliseconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude. An order of magnitude is the class of scale or magnitude of any amount, where each class contains values of a fixed ratio to the class preceding it. ... Look up second in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... The pages linked in the right-hand column contain lists of times that are of the same order of magnitude (power of ten). ...

  • Shorter times
  • 1.0 milliseconds – cycle time for frequency 1 kHz
  • 1 ms – duration of light for typical photo flash strobe
  • 1 ms – repetition interval of GPS C/A PN code
  • 1.000692286 ms – time taken for light to travel 300 km in a vacuum
  • 2 ms – half life of hassium-265
  • 2.27 ms – 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 ms – a housefly’s wing flap
  • 3.4 ms – half life of meitnerium-266
  • 5 ms – a honeybee’s wing flap
  • 8 ms – camera shutter speed at setting 125
  • 9 ms – typical maximum seek time for a 7200rpm hard disk
  • Longer times

Millisecond pulsar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (485 words)
A millisecond pulsar (MSP), often referred to as "recycled pulsar", is a pulsar with a rotational period in the range of about 1-10 milliseconds.
Many millisecond pulsars are found in globular clusters because the extremely high stellar density of these systems leads to exchange interactions that create the kind of mass-transfer binaries that spin pulsars up to millisecond pulsars.
The first millisecond pulsar, PSR B1937+21, was discovered in 1982 by Backer et al.
