a jiffy is a 100th of a second.
Correction: a jiffy is 16.7 milliseconds, approximately 1/60th of a second.
In computers, a jiffy is 55 ms (1/18 sec). This is the length of a time sharing block of time on DOS and Windows computers.

Jiffy is an indeterminate period of time originally thought to mean as quick as a flash of lightning. However many technologies have adopted it to express a quick time in their own area and attempted to standardize it:Gilbert Newton Lewis defined a Jiffy as the time it takes light to travel one centimetre, which is about 33.3564 picoseconds.In electronics, a Jiffy is defined as the time between alternating current power cycles, which is either 1/60 or 1/50 of a second.Edward R. Harrison defined a Jiffy as the time it takes for light to travel one fermi, which means that a Jiffy is equal to about 3 × 10−24 seconds. This measure is typically used in astrophysics and quantum physicsPhysics: The time it takes light to travel one centimetre (approximately 33.3564 picoseconds).Computing: Various definitions based on the timer system. It varies between 1/60 sec and 1 - 10 msAstrophysics and quantum physics: A complex definition. it may be set to the Planck interval, about 5.4 × 10−44 seconds, which is the time it takes light to move the smallest meaningful length, the Planck length.Thus the jiffy can be amny durations but the jiffy based on the Plank Length is the quickest of all but it is based on a graininess quantification of space.
