To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10^-2 seconds and 10^-1 seconds (10 to 100 milliseconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.

• shorter times
• 10 milliseconds -- cycle time for frequency 100 Hz
• 16.7 milliseconds -- cycle time for American 60 Hz AC mains grid
• 20 milliseconds -- cycle time for European 50 Hz AC mains grid
• 33 milliseconds -- cycle time for the lowest audible tone 30 Hz
• 60 milliseconds -- cycle time for European 16.7 Hz AC electrified railroad power grid
• 30 to 100 milliseconds -- Typical minimum latency for a broadband internet connection -- important for online gaming
• longer times
