What is the smallest sound duration that the human can hear? In other words, what is the smallest size of a sound that can be translated to electrical signals by the ear?

Suppose the human ear can discern or distinguish between 18KHz and 20KHz sounds, this would mean that when a single wave is processed at 20 KHz then this would mean 1 / (20KHz) = 0.00005 second, which would be next to incredible (and I do not buy it).

I am particularly interested in the duration as depending on frequency.

I am expecting something like this (I am not sure)

 Freq   Duration needed to be aware of the sound
 20KHz  0.05S (50 mS)
 10KHz  0.04S (40 mS)
  5KHz  0.03S (30 mS)
2.5KHZ  0.02S (20 mS)

What is the smallest sound duration that the human can hear? In other words, what is the lower duration limit for a sound to be translated into electrical signals by the ear?

Suppose the human ear can discern or distinguish between 18 kHz and 20 kHz sounds, this would mean that, if a single wave could be processed at 20 KHz, the sound duration would be 1 / (20KHz) = 0.00005 second, which would be next to incredible (and probably impossible).

I am particularly interested in the lower duration limit as depending on frequency.

I am expecting something like this (I am not sure)

 Freq   Duration needed to be aware of the sound
 20KHz  0.05S (50 mS)
 10KHz  0.04S (40 mS)
  5KHz  0.03S (30 mS)
2.5KHZ  0.02S (20 mS)

If the human is able to hear a sound of 18KHz, can they hear some sound with 1mS (1 millisecond) = 0.001 second of duration?

What is the smallest duration that the human can hear; in other words what is the smallest size of the sound pulse that can be translated to electrical signals by the ear?

I'm not biologist, I'm engineer, I think the human ear can discern or distinguish between 18KHz and 20KHz sounds, but hearing only ONE wave of 20KHz => 1 / (20KHz) = 0.00005 second is incredible (I do not think so).
