What is the maths behind Morse code?

Answer 1

Morse Code represents letters and numbers using a series of dots and dashes, or short and long signals, which can be understood as a binary system. Each character is assigned a unique sequence of these signals, where the duration of a dot is one unit of time, and a dash is three units. Spaces between parts of the same letter, between letters, and between words have specific durations as well, creating a structured timing system. This encoding can be analyzed mathematically through concepts of information theory, such as entropy and efficiency in communication.
