A microsecond is an SI unit of time equal to one millionth (0.000001 or 10−6 or 1/1,000,000) of a second. Its symbol is μs. One microsecond is to one second as one second is to 11.574 days. A microsecond is equal to 1000 nanoseconds or 1/1,000 milliseconds. Because the next SI prefix is 1000 times larger, measurements of 10−5 and 10−4 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of microseconds. A microsecond of sound signal sample (44.1 kHz, 2 channel, 24 bit, WAV) is typically stored on 4 µm of CD, 2 bits per µs per 4 µm. ==Examples== * 1 microsecond (1 μs) – cycle time for frequency 1×106 hertz (1 MHz), the inverse unit. This corresponds to radio wavelength 300 m (AM mediumwave band), as can be calculated by multiplying 1 µs by the speed of light (approximately 300×106 m/s) to determine the distance travelled. * 1 microsecond – the length of time of a high-speed, commercial strobe light flash (see air-gap flash). * 1.8 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2011 Japanese earthquake. * 2 microseconds – the lifetime of a muonium particle * 2.68 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. * 3.33564095 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one kilometer in a vacuum * 4.63 microseconds – a fifth (a 60th of a 60th of a 60th of a second) * 5.4 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one mile in a vacuum * 10 microseconds (μs) – cycle time for frequency 100 kHz, radio wavelength 3 km * 17 microseconds: net amount per year that the length of the day lengthens, largely due to tidal acceleration. * 20.8 microseconds – sampling interval for digital audio with 48000 samples/s * 22.7 microseconds – sampling interval for CD audio (44100 samples/s) * 38 microseconds – discrepancy in GPS satellite time per day (compensated by clock speed) due to relativity〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= GPS and Relativity )〕 * 50 microseconds – cycle time for highest human-audible tone (20 kHz) * 50 microseconds to read – the access latency for a modern Solid State Drive which holds non-volatile computer data〔(Intel Solid State Drive Product Specification )〕 *100 microseconds (0.1 ms) – cycle time for frequency 10 kHz *125 microseconds – sampling interval for telephone audio (8000 samples/s) *164 microseconds - half-life of polonium-214 *240 microseconds – half-life of copernicium-277 *250 microseconds – cycle time for highest tone in telephone audio (4 kHz) * 277.8 microseconds – a fourth (a 60th of a 60th of a second), used in astronomical calculations by al-Biruni and Roger Bacon in 1000 and 1267 AD, respectively.〔 〕 * 489.67 microseconds - time for light at a 1550nm frequency to travel 100 km in a singlemode fiber optic cable (where speed of light is approximately 200 million meters per second due to internal reflectance). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「microsecond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
