10 nanoseconds is sometimes referred to as a shake, as in a "shake of a lamb's tail."
shorter times - 10 nanoseconds (10 ns) – cycle time for frequency 100 MHz, radio wavelength 3 m (VHF, FM band)
- 10 nanoseconds – one shake, approximate time of one generation of a nuclear chain reaction with fast neutrons
- 12 nanoseconds – half-life of a K meson
- 20–40 nanoseconds – time of fusion reaction in a hydrogen bomb
- 77 nanoseconds – a sixth (a 60th of a 60th of a 60th of a 60th of a second)
- longer times
