What separates the scale into equal parts?
Equally spaced subdivisions. However, a scale need not be divided into equal parts. For example, the logarithmic scale which, among other things, is used to measure the volume of sound - in decibels. The musical scale is approximately logarithmic.
What db has no sound?
dB is a logarithmic scale, so the answer, basically, is negative infinity.dB is a logarithmic scale, so the answer, basically, is negative infinity.dB is a logarithmic scale, so the answer, basically, is negative infinity.dB is a logarithmic scale, so the answer, basically, is negative infinity.
how does the pH scale is a mathematical indicator of?
The pH is a measure of the activity of the ion H+ (the negative logarithm in base 10); the scale is logarithmic.
What is nonlinear scale?
Nonlinear scaling is a scaling where the difference between each major unit of measure is not the same. For example, see logarithmic scale.
What does Richter scale measured in?
logarithmic scale
What do Richter scale measures?
logarithmic scale
Advantages of logarithmic scale over the linear scale?
Logarithmic will give a more define shape of the graph
What to use to measure distance on a map?
If you look at the bottom of the map, there should be a scale. Take a ruler, measure the distance for each measurement, and convert to what you need
What type of scale does a Richter scale use?
a logarithmic scale
What is linear scale?
A scale where the distance between 1 and 2 is the same as the distance between 2 and 3; and so on. By way of contrast, in a logarithmic scale, the distance between 1 and 10 would be the same as the distance between 10 and 100, or 100 and 1000. There are many other scales.
What would you use to measure sound?
You are looking for a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter. The meter will measure on a logarithmic scale in Decibels (dB) to give you a quantifiable numbers. You should look for one with both A and C weighting.
What are some common logarithmic scales?
The Decibal scale for sound measurement is an example of a logarithmic scale. The Richter scale, the pH scale, the magnitude scale for stars, the multiplicative scales on a slide rule
