Linear vs logarithmic scales. 1  Human hearing is better measured on a logarithmic scale than a linear scale. 2  On a linear scale, a change between two values is perceived on the basis of the difference between the values.  On a logarithmic scale, a change between two values is perceived on the basis of the ratio of the two values.
However, a logarithmic price scale will show the vertical distance between $10 and $15 to be different than the $5 distance between $20 to $25. The reason for this is that a change of $5 (when the price is at $10) represents a 50% increase, while a move from $20 to $25 is a 25% increase.
