How to Convert Millisecond to MicrosecondMicrosecond

1 ms = 1000.0000000000001 mu
1 mu = 0.001 ms

Example: convert 50 ms to mu:
50 ms = 50 x 1000.0000000000001 = 50000.00000000001 mu

Millisecond

Definition: A millisecond (symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a second.

History/origin: The millisecond is a decimal fraction of the second, derived from the SI base unit for time. The SI system was established in the mid-20th century to standardize units of measurement.

Current use: Milliseconds are commonly used in electronics, physics, and computer science to measure very short time intervals, such as CPU processing speeds, network latency, and audio sampling rates.

Microsecond

Definition: A microsecond (µs) is a unit of time equal to one millionth of a second (1 × 10−6 s).

History/origin: The microsecond is derived from the SI prefix "micro-", which means one millionth. It became relevant with the development of electronics and computers, where events happen at short timescales.

Current use: Microseconds are commonly used in computer science, telecommunications, and scientific experiments to measure the duration of short events, such as the execution time of functions, data access times, or the duration of light pulses.
