Re: MD: decibel scale

[David W. Tamkin]

Let me rephrase this: after speaking about a 3.01 dB *increase*, I said,

| 20 dB has ten times the energy reaching the sensor (or ear) as 10 dB.

A *reading* of 20 dB would have ten times as much energy reaching the sensor
(or reaching the ear) as a reading of 10 dB.  An *increase* of 20 dB would
mean 100 times the energy (or really the power) of the previous reading.
