Detailed explanation-1: -What did Samuel F.B. Morse invent? Samuel F.B. Morse developed an electric telegraph (1832–35) and then invented, with his friend Alfred Vail, the Morse Code (1838). The latter is a system for representing letters of the alphabet, numerals, and punctuation marks by arranging dots, dashes, and spaces.
Detailed explanation-2: -To transmit messages across telegraph wires, in the 1830s Morse and Vail created what came to be known as Morse code.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the Morse code systems was invented in the United States by American artist and inventor Samuel F.B. Morse during the 1830s for electrical telegraphy. A variant called the International Morse Code was devised by a conference of European nations in 1851 to account for letters with diacritic marks.
