square wave and digital electronics

[PG1995]

Hi

Please have a look on linked diagram which also contains my questions: https://img580.imageshack.us/img580/2/squarewave.jpg

It has mainly two questions, Q1 and Q2. Further, please correct any detail which you deem to be grossly wrong. And please your reply simple. Thank you for your help.

Regards
PG

Yes it does. Depends on how you define a period. That, the time comes into play.

If you were using a device which was clocked at 1Hz, that would indeed be two 1's. Otherwise not. Correct terminology is "duty cycle", which is measured in a percentage rather than units. For example your top waveform is 50% duty cycle.
