Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Response latency or response time or reaction time is defined as the duration between the delivery of a given stimulus and the reply to that particular stimulus. In other words, it is the time between the cue and the corresponding response.

Detailed explanation-2: -Latency is generally considered to be the amount of time it takes from when a request is made by the user to the time it takes for the response to get back to that user. On a first request, for the first 14Kb bytes, latency is longer because it includes a DNS lookup, a TCP handshake, the secure TLS negotiation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The word “latency” has a more precise and narrow definition. It is the set amount of time a command takes to complete, mostly due to physics. “Response time, ” on the other hand, is what a command experiences taking all other factors into consideration.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is the amount of time between the delivery of the Discriminative Stimuli (demand) and the start of the behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -Response latency is the speed or ease with which a response to a survey question is given after a respondent is presented with the question. It is used as an indicator of attitude accessibility, which is the strength of the link between an attitude object and a respondent’s evaluation of that object.
