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
2 ms – half life of hassium-265
2.27 ms – cycle time for the A above middle C in music (440 Hz). If an electric tuning device for musical instruments generates just one tone, this is probably that 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 as setting 125
