   The signals are sent by sound, light beams, or electric pulses. A dot [ . ] is a signal of short duration, and a dash [ - ] is a signal of longer duration. Morse code was used to send telegraph messages before the invention of the telephone and has been used in many other ways, such as emergency and wartime communications.
