Morse Code

 

 Morse code is a system of representing letters, numbers, and symbols using a series of dots and dashes. It was developed in the 1830s and 1840s by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for use with their invention, the telegraph. Morse code has been widely used for long-distance communication, particularly in situations where spoken language or visual communication is not possible or practical.

In Morse code, each letter of the alphabet, number, and symbol is represented by a unique combination of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals). The basic units of time in Morse code are the duration of a dot. A dash is equal to three dots in duration. The duration of a space between dots and dashes within a character is equal to one dot, while the space between characters in a word is equal to three dots, and the space between words is equal to seven dots.

Here is a table showing the Morse code representation for each letter of the alphabet:

A: .- N: -. 0: -----

B: -... O: --- 1: .----

C: -.-. P: .--. 2: ..---

D: -.. Q: --.- 3: ...--

E: . R: .-. 4: ....-

F: ..-. S: ... 5: .....

G: --. T: - 6: -....

H: .... U: ..- 7: --...

I: .. V: ...- 8: ---..

J: .--- W: .-- 9: ----.

K: -.- X: -..-

L: .-.. Y: -.--

M: -- Z: --..

To transmit a message in Morse code, you would represent each letter, number, or symbol by its corresponding sequence of dots and dashes, and separate each character and word with the appropriate spaces.
