Morse Code

What is it?

Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment.
It is named for Samuel F. B. Morse, an inventor of the telegraph.
The code assigned letters in the alphabet and numbers a set of dots (short marks) and dashes (long marks) based on the frequency of use.
Morse code sequence may be made from a combination of the following five-bit strings:

short mark, dot or "dit" ( . ): 1
longer mark, dash or "dah" ( ): 111
intra-character gap (between the dots and dashes within a character): 0
short gap (between letters): 000
medium gap (between words): 0000000

Each Morse code symbol represents either a text character.
The letters of a word are separated by a space equal to three dots, and the words are separated by a space equal to seven dots.

-

The length of a dot is one unit.
A dash is three units.
The space between parts of the same letter is one unit.
The space between letters is three units.
The space between words is seven units.

How does it work?

If the time of contact of T is more, it is called a DASH ( __ ).

If it is very short, it is called DOT ( . )

K

When the Morse Key K is pressed, the circuit is completed through the ground which is a conductor.
The electromagnet attracts the armature A and it produces a sound 'click' on striking the rod K2.
On releasing the Morse key K, the circuit breaks and the armature goes to its original position touching the rod Kl.

Telegraph & Morse Code

The Telegraph is the first long-distance communication.
To transmit messages across telegraph wires, in the 1830s Morse and Vail created what came to be known as Morse code.
Initially, the code, when transmitted over the telegraph system, was rendered as marks on a piece of paper that the telegraph operator would then translate back into English.
the paper was replaced by a receiver that created more pronounced beeping sounds.

Telegraph is the first modern instrument used in sending messages to a distant place in a very short time.

Receiver (B)

Transmitter(A)

With the help of the message is transmitted at A and decoded at the station B to receive the message.

In 1844, Morse sent Vail the first ever telegraph message.
In 1874, Thomas Alva Edison developed which allowed for four messages to be transmitted simultaneously using the same wire.
Use of the telegraph was quickly accepted by people eager for a faster and easier way of sending and receiving information.
40 such telegraph lines across the Atlantic by 1940.

Lighthouse & Morse Code

Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways:

electrical pulses along a telegraph wire
audio tone
radio signal with short and long tones
mechanical or visual signal (e.g. a flashing light)

But for you, we shall Decode and Read.
We can communicate to the lighthouse, ship with this technique.

Morse code through flashing light.

Aldis lamp

Heliograph

Each time light flashes means DOT (.).
Each time light long puls mean DASH(-).

Use

Morse code is used by some amateur radio operator.
Aviation: Pilots and air traffic controllers usually need only.
