How long should one remain silent between Surah Fatihah and the Surah?

Q: How long should one remain silent between fatihah and the next surah in jummah prayers? The Imams of the Haram usually remain silent after aamen for half a minute.

Bismillaah

A: Just remaining silent for the duration of aameen is sufficient.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
