Cinema frame at 24 frames per second
At exactly 24 frames per second, one frame interval is 1/24 second, about 41.67 ms. Exposure time and display cadence can differ from this interval.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked frame interval is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Blink of an eye
A chosen 150 ms interval, not a universal blink duration.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 41.67 ms
For comparison, this page uses frame interval. This is labelled defined calculation: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value.
At exactly 24 frames per second, one frame interval is 1/24 second, about 41.67 ms. Exposure time and display cadence can differ from this interval.
