A jiffy is a unit of time that is not precisely defined, but it is commonly used to mean a very short amount of time. In physics, a jiffy is often considered to be 1/100th of a second.

How long is a jiffy in seconds?

A "jiffy" is often used informally to mean a short period of time, but in scientific contexts, it can refer to specific durations. In physics, a jiffy is typically defined as the time it takes for light to travel one centimeter in a vacuum, which is approximately 33.3564 picoseconds (or 0.0000000000333564 seconds). In computing, a jiffy can also refer to about 1/100th of a second. The exact duration can vary depending on the context in which the term is used.


What is 3 billionths of a jiffy?

It depends on what you mean. In the classic electronics sense, a jiffy will depend on where you live, as it's the amount of time between electrical-current cycles in AC power. So for the US, it'd be 1/60 of a second for a jiffy, or, to answer your question 1/180,000,000,000 of a second. In a modern computing sense, it can vary widely, since each platform defines a jiffy as a different value. In a physics sense, a jiffy is the time it takes light to travel one fermi, which is really small, 3x10-24 seconds. Which would make 3 billionths of a jiffy, 9x10-33 seconds.
