Answer:

The owner of the bond receives interest payments, known as the coupon, throughout the life of a bond, at the interest rate that was determined when it was issued.

Step-by-step explanation:

They are debt obligations, meaning that the investor loans a sum of money (the principal) to a company or a government for a set period of time, and in return receives a series of interest payments (the yield).
