The opposite of visual persistence time...

Featured Replies

The time for visual persistence is typically taken as 1/30th of a second; what is the minimal time a light should be on to recognize its brief presence ?

Example, a high speed mechanical shutter wheel in front of a light source.  (Or a pulse on LED)  The light passes a slot to the eye for one millisecond.  Probable visible.  What if one microsecond ?  Would that time be long enough to be detected by the eye ?   

Is there a name for that 'time sensitivity' ?
