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.
What is a decibel, and how is it measured? The decibel (abbreviated dB) is the unit used to measure the intensity of a sound. The decibel scale is a little odd because the human ear is incredibly sensitive. Your ears can hear everything from your fingertip brushing lightly over your skin to a loud jet engine. In terms of power, the sound of the jet engine is about 1,000,000,000,000 times more powerful than the smallest audible sound.
