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.
How the pH scale works Like the Richter scale that's used to rate earthquakes, the pH scale is not linear. The intervals between numbers is logarithmic, which means every number on the scale shows ten times less H concentration than the number below. Soil with a 5 is ten times more acidic than soil with a pH of 6.
