1 dB is defined as an increase of power to [ 100.1 ] of its original value.
100.1 is about 1.2589 (rounded)
So an increase of 1 dB is an increase in power of about 25.89 percent.
A decrease of 1 dB is a change to [ 10-0.1 ] or 0.7943 of the original power, or a decrease of 20.57 percent.
That depends on you. If you want, you can say 1 watt should be 0 dB.
20,000 Hz (20kHz) is the (ideal) highest FREQUENCY that a healthy human ear can hear. With regard to loud sounds, a sound LEVEL of 120 decibel (dB) causes pain, and a level of 140 dB causes deafness.
Increase = 10 log(B/A) dB = 10 log (3000/1) = 10 ( 3.47712) = 34.8 dB (rounded)
There are several types of dB. dB SPL are decibels measuring sound pressure levels. There is an accepted reference point of 0 dB SPL which equals 20 micropascals = 2 × 10-5 pascals. dB SL are decibels measuring a signal relative to an individuals auditory threshold. For example, if a person's minimum threshold is 30 dB HL (yet another type of decibel measuring how much worse a person's hearing is based on a referential dB level) and a signal is at 40 dB HL, the sensation level of this signal to this individual is 10 db SL (40 dB - 30 dB = 10 dB SL).

yes it = 1
You must find a resistance value for 0 dB as reference. If 1 Ohm = 0 dB then 10 ohms = 20 dB and 100 ohms = 40 dB.
dBm us almost exactly the same as dB. The only difference is that there is a reference of 1 Watt = 0 dB, and 1 mW = 0 dBm. dBm is defined as power ratio in decibel (dB) referenced to one milliwatt (mW). It is an abbreviation for dB with respect to 1 mW and the "m" in dBm stands for milliwatt. dBm is different from dB. dBm represents absolute power, whereas in audio engineering the decibel is usually a voltage ratio of two values and is used then to represent gain or attenuation of an audio amplifier, or an audio damping pad. PdBm = 10*log10(1000*10W) = 40dBm
"3 dB" is a nickname for "1/2 power". "1/2 power" in dB = 10 log(1/2) = 10 (-0.30103) = -3.01 dB
1 sone = 40 dB at 1 kHz.
db gain is defined as power gain, not voltage gain. Please restate you question in terms of power, or provide details of input and output impedance.

I guess the reference power for 0 dB is 1 milliwatt. Then the power level 36 dB means a power ratio of 10^(36/10) = 3981 to 1.
That depends on you. If you want, you can say 1 watt should be 0 dB.
I think 1 volt/bar when expressed in db you need to add 200 db to get reading in volts per micro pascal.
10 dB gain means a voltage ratio of 3.16227766 to 1.
