Millisecond

A millisecond (sometimes shortened to 'ms')  is one thousandth of a second. This page lists times between 10−3 seconds and 10−2 seconds (1 millisecond to 10 milliseconds).

One millisecond contains 1000 microseconds. There are 1000 milliseconds in one second.

 1 millisecond – the time it takes for a normal flash in a camera to finish.
 1 millisecond – time taken for sound to travel 34 cm
 1.000692286 milliseconds – time taken for light to travel 300 km in a vacuum
 2 milliseconds – half life of hassium-265
 3 milliseconds – a housefly’s wing flap
 3.4 milliseconds – half life of meitnerium-266
 5 milliseconds – a honeybee’s wing flap
 8 milliseconds – 1/125 of a second (125), a camera shutter speed
 9 milliseconds – normal seek time for a 7200rpm hard disk
 33.3 milliseconds  -  the amount of time one frame lasts in 30fps video
 30 to 100 milliseconds  -  normal latency for a broadband internet connection
 100 milliseconds  -  the reaction speed of a human
 102 milliseconds  -  half-life of bohrium-262
 134 milliseconds  -  the amount of time it takes by light to travel around the earth's equator
 200 to 670 milliseconds  -  the tempo of modern dance music (128 - 150 BPM)
 300 to 400 milliseconds  -  the blink of a human eye
 838 milliseconds  -  half-life of lithium-8

The basic interval, in time manners, in most of the programming languages is 1 millisecond . e.g. the command delay() in C++. Others use second interval.
