The arteries in the neck are very large (to supply blood to the brain), and fairly close to the surface because of all the other stuff in the neck (muscles, spine, trachea, esophagus). So the ebb and flow of blood as your heart pumps can be visible on the surface of the skin.

What kind of pulses did Venus' topography has been mapped from space and earth?
wave pulses
How did NASA get images of Venus through its dense cloud coverage?
The Megellan space craft that mapped the surface of planet Venus used microwave pulses. This type of electromagnetic radiation has a long wavelength (compared to visible light) that is able to pass through the thick carbon dioxide clouds on Venus. the reflections of these pulses were then used to build up a picture of the solid surface beneath.
What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
What is the difference in frequency between light pulses and electric pulses?
Visible Light - 430 THz to 790 THzElectric signals that will stay in wires - 0 Hz (DC) to roughly 5 GHzEven keeping a 1 GHz to 5 GHz signal inside a wire is difficult, but can be and is done. Terahertz (THz) is 1000 Gigahertz (GHz).Power line frequencies are 60 Hz or 50 Hz in most countries.
Where are are pulses?
mostly on the inner wrists and on your neck, (under your ear)
Pulses are found where?

Name two electromagnetic wave use to carry through an optical fiber?
We usually use some form of coherent light wave in fiber optic conduits to move data. That means a laser and the emission of light somewhere at or about optical wavelengths.
What are the advantages of pulses?
pulses? like in the pulses you heart makes us hear?
Why do only very fast pulsars emit visible pulses?
Because the slower the pulsar rotates, the more X-rays are in its radiation beams, where-as the faster it rotates, X-rays cannot keep up with the radiation beams, therefore are more visible.
Is there carbohydrate in pulses?
Yes, there is carbohydrate in pulses. .
