"Compared to a linear scale the logarithmic scale provides an easy and more manageable way to represent this wide range of ground motion amplitude (often many orders of magnitude) and energy ...

The logarithmic scale is not compatible with this sort of intuitive simplicity. Unfortunately, a linear scale isn’t a perfect alternative, either.

For example, you can specify a linear-display range spanning 1 to 3V or a logarithmic scale for input voltages of 2 to 3V. Figure 2 A linear-to-logarithmic-conversion curve defines the input voltage ...

The Richter scale, developed by the American geologist Charles Richter in the 1930s, is a "logarithmic" scale, which means that each one-point increase on the scale represents a tenfold increase ...

Back when I first started charting the spread of coronavirus I decided not to use a logarithmic scale. I figured that log scales were fine for communicating with other professionals, but most ...

Excel defaults to a linear scale for graphs, but you can easily change it to logarithmic to suit wide data ranges or logarithmic phenomena. The Chart Wizard produces graphs with linear scales.

From the Richter scale to sound pressure, many modern units utilize the logarithmic “base 10” system. But to many engineers, the decibel (dB) remains one of the trickiest concepts of test and ...

In “ When Should I Use Logarithmic Scales in My Charts and Graphs ”, I showed the revenues of the top 60 Forbes 500 companies using both linear and logarithmic scales. The log scale spread out ...
