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.
A logarithmic scale is defined as one where the units on an axis are powers, or logarithms, of a base number, usually 10. It is particularly useful when we need to represent large, exponential changes in information on that axis. A semi-log chart is one in which one axis (x or y) is converted to a logarithmic scale.
