Also known as dB

The decibel (symbol: dB) is a relative unit of measurement equal to one tenth of a bel (B). It expresses the ratio of two values of a power or root-power quantity on a logarithmic scale. Two signals whose levels differ by one decibel have a power ratio of 101/10 (approximately ) or root-power ratio of 101/20 (approximately ).

AI overview

A decibel is a unit of measurement that compares two amounts—such as sound power or electrical power—using a logarithmic scale, making it easier to express very large or very small ratios in manageable numbers. It matters because it allows us to describe phenomena like sound levels, signal strength, and power differences in a practical way, where a one-decibel difference represents a specific mathematical ratio between the two values being compared.
