Microsecond
A microsecond is a unit of time equal to one millionth of a second (10^-6 seconds).
History/Origin
The microsecond was introduced in the 20th century as part of the metric system to measure very short time intervals, especially in electronics and computing.
Current Use
Microseconds are used in various fields such as computing, telecommunications, and physics to measure very brief durations, including processor speeds, signal timings, and scientific experiments.
Millisecond
A millisecond (ms) is a unit of time equal to one thousandth of a second.
History/Origin
The millisecond was introduced as a standard unit of time measurement with the development of precise timekeeping and scientific instrumentation in the 20th century, particularly with the advent of electronic clocks and digital technology.
Current Use
Milliseconds are widely used in computing, telecommunications, and scientific measurements to denote very short durations, such as in data processing, network latency, and high-frequency trading.
