Answer:

An eighth note, also called a quaver is a note played for one eighth the duration of a whole note (semibreve). It lasts a quarter of the duration of a half note (minim) and half of the duration of a quarter note (crotchet). In 4/4 time a whole note lasts for four beats. An 8th note lasts for half a beat.
