To find out more, see our article on how Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you avoid or delay foreclosure.
There are fixed units such as meters and relative units such as decibels (dB). Relative units are related to specific conditions. For example, decibels in water have a different relative value than decibels in air. Scientists have agreed to use 1 microPascal (Î¼Pa) as the reference pressure for underwater sound. In air, however, scientists have agreed to use a higher reference pressure of 20 microPascals.
The Decibel Scale. An explanation of the decibel scale and related units for measuring sound and loudness. The ear has the remarkable ability to handle an enormous range of sound levels. In order to express levels of sound meaningfully in numbers that are more manageable, a logarithmic scale is used, rather than a linear one. This scale is the decibel scale.
