It transmits messages through a wire by sending an electrical pulse through it. the operator sending the message will determine whether the signal will be long or short which are called dots and dashed. if the telegraph button is held down long, it continues to send a signal to the other end of the wire which powers some kind of signaler such as a bell or a beeper or is hooked to a teletype machine and prints out the dots and dashes but that is very complex and far from the simple telegraph. now a days Morse Code can be transmitted through the internet in text files or pretty much by any electronic means.

What types of waves are used in telegraphs to communicate in Morse code?

The basics of the telegraph include electricity, which is electromagnetic energy. In the modern era, we see the use of a telegraph key to complete an electric circuit, and the dots (dits) and dashes (dahs) are sent out through the air using a transmitter that generates electromagnetic waves. Some might call these radio waves, and this is wireless telegraphy.

Do satellites normally use microwaves or radio waves?

Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.


Can people disrupt radio waves by standing in front of them?

Yes. Radio waves are electromagnetic and are affected by anything that conducts electricity. The human body is mostly made of water, which conducts electricity and therefore affects radio waves. To demonstrate the effect, see what happens when you move around a radio tuned to a station with relatively poor reception.
