Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The time interval between pulses is called a ____ .
A
clock cycle
B
clock pulse
C
processor interval
D
control cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pulse repetition interval (PRI) is the time interval between pulses.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Does Clock Cycle Mean? In computers, the clock cycle is the amount of time between two pulses of an oscillator. It is a single increment of the central processing unit (CPU) clock during which the smallest unit of processor activity is carried out.

Detailed explanation-3: -A clock pulse may come at any time. A clock cycle is one full on off cycle of a repeating clock signal. While each assertion of the repeating clock is a clock pulse, in some circuits a single pulse used to latch or trigger some logic circuit may be called a clock pulse. Other words for it are strobe or latch pulse.

Detailed explanation-4: -In electronics and especially synchronous digital circuits, a clock signal (historically also known as logic beat) is an electronic logic signal (voltage or current) which oscillates between a high and a low state at a constant frequency and is used like a metronome to synchronize actions of digital circuits.

Detailed explanation-5: -Also known as CP, the clock pulse is the vibration of a quartz crystal located inside a computer for synchronizing the timing of hardware components. The speed of the computer’s processor, measured in MHz or GHz, refers to its number of clock pulse cycles per second.
