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.
What happens if we change to a log scale. Notice how this drastically changes where the actual numbers occur - in the normal graph, the majority of the scale is taken up by the range between 50,000 and 350,000. In the log scale, these numbers occur in a very small section near the end. The log scale draws out the area where the smaller numbers occur. The above log-scaled axes still display the actual values of the weight. But log-scaled graphs are often portrayed with the values of the log labeled on the axis.
