General Navigation USCG Question #400 (Set 13)

What is characteristic of an isophase light?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 1 sec. flash, 1 sec. eclipse

An isophase light, also known as an equal interval light, displays light and dark periods of equal duration. A 1-second flash followed by a 1-second eclipse is the classic example of this characteristic, providing a rhythmic, easily recognizable signal for mariners navigating coastal or inland waters.
