👉 In science and technology, a microsecond is defined as one thousandth of a second. It can be represented in scientific notation by 10^-6 seconds or 1/32000 seconds. Microseconds are used to measure very short durations such as the time it takes for a light pulse to travel through air or the time between two pulses on an oscilloscope. They are also used in timing and signal analysis applications.
