Years ago I did a report on Morse code for 7th grade science fair I believe,I did win a ribbon for the project! Lol So it been covered but here's a bit of information and a reference information.

Morse code is a character encoding for transmitting telegraphic information, using standardized sequences of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals,ponctuation and special characters of a given message.. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds,marks or pulses, in on off keying and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs".

In 1844, S. F. B. Morse demonstrated to the U.S. Congress the feasibility of sending a message ("What hath God wrought") over a wire from Washington to Baltimore. Today there are 2 versions of Morse's original code: the General Service or International Morse Code, and the American Morse Code.
