Question 1 of 27070

In the transmission of the international Morse code, what are the relative time lengths of dashes, dots?

🔍 Key Concepts

• International Morse Code standard timing for dots and dashes • Relationship of dot length as the basic unit of time • How ratios (not exact seconds) define Morse timing

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In Morse code, which element (dot or dash) is defined as the basic time unit, and how many of those units make up the other element? • Think about standard training phrases: how do instructors usually describe the timing of one dash compared to one dot? • Compare the answer choices: which option expresses the commonly taught ratio between a single dash and a single dot?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which element (dot or dash) is used as the fundamental time unit in Morse timing. • Confirm the standard ratio of a dash duration to a dot duration (e.g., 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, etc.). • Make sure the wording "about" in the choice you select matches the accepted Morse training standard, not an approximate guess.

Question 1 of 27070

In the transmission of the international Morse code, what are the relative time lengths of dashes, dots?

Dashes are about four times as long as dots

Dots are about half the length of dashes

Dashes are about three times as long as dots

None of the above
