hmmmm..interesting question and i am not sure what kind of answer you are looking for but here goes...
Most speed sensors operate using a low voltage to create a speed signal from a rotating magnet. The transmission houses a turning magnet ( or more ) and a sender fits in the side to read the number of rotations and then sends this to a computer , ecm , buffer or direct to speedometer.
This Pulse can be analyzed using many different devices or scanners. When hooked to an Oscilloscope; a Nice Square wave can be observed on a good working sender or pulse generator.
I hope that helps...Good Luck

Consider rephrasing that. It doesn't make much sense. Usually there's an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor on these things. What are you trying to learn?
If it's a quiz question, I would have some issues with your teacher.
