To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10-5 seconds and 10-4 seconds (10 to 100 microseconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.

  • shorter times
  • 10 microseconds -- cycle time for frequency 100 kHz, radio wavelength 3 km
  • 20.8 microseconds -- sampling interval for digital audio with 48.0 k samples/s
  • 22.7 microseconds -- sampling interval for CD audio (44.1 k samples/s)
  • 33 microseconds -- cycle time for highest audible tone (30 kHz)
  • longer times
