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.
To convert decibels (dB) to watts, you can use the formula: ( P = P_0 \times 10^{(dB/10)} ), where ( P_0 ) is the reference power level (usually 1 watt). For -2 dB, the calculation would be ( P = 1 \times 10^{-2/10} ), which equals approximately 0.63095 watts. Thus, -2 dB corresponds to about 0.631 watts.
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.
Converting between dB and watts requires additional information about the reference power level. If we assume a reference power level of 1 watt, 32 dB would be equal to 1,000 watts.
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.
The sound of Mach 1 is around 130 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
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.

The sound level in decibels (dB) required for a 1 sone loudness at a frequency of 50 Hz would be around 40 dB. This is because 1 sone is approximately equal to 40 phons, and for a 50 Hz tone, 40 phons is equivalent to around 40 dB SPL (Sound Pressure Level).
A 10 dB increase represents a sound that is 10 times greater in intensity compared to a 1 dB sound. Each 10 dB increase corresponds to a tenfold increase in sound intensity.
To convert power in watts to decibels (dB), you can use the formula: dB = 10 * log10(P2/P1), where P1 is the reference power (usually 1 watt) and P2 is the power you are converting (40 watts in this case). Plugging in the values, you would calculate: dB = 10 * log10(40/1) = 16.02 dB.
I think 1 volt/bar when expressed in db you need to add 200 db to get reading in volts per micro pascal.
dBm is defined as power ratio in decibel (dB) referenced to one milliwatt (mW).
