See also times of other orders of magnitude.
- shorter times
- 1.0 microsecond — cycle time for frequency 1 MHz, radio wavelength 300 m (AM mediumwave band)
- 1 microsecond — a high-speed, commercial strobe light flash
- 2 microseconds — the life time of a muonium particle
- 5.4 microseconds — the time taken by light to travel one mile in a vacuum
- longer times
