1 E-3 s

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.

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
