To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10−2 seconds and 10−1 seconds (10 to 100 milliseconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.
- shorter times
- 10 milliseconds – cycle time for frequency 100 Hz
- 16.7 milliseconds – cycle time for American 60 Hz AC mains grid
- 20 milliseconds – cycle time for European 50 Hz AC mains grid
- 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
- 30 to 100 milliseconds – Typical minimum latency for a broadband internet connection (important for online gaming)
- longer times
