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.
In the following example, the base is 10 and the logarithm is 1.7: The definition of a logarithmic scale is one in which the units on the axis are powers, or logarithms, of a base number, and it is typically used when the increase or decrease in value on that axis is exponential. Most often, the base used is 10.
