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.
Simply measuring items by the standard 12 inch foot is the same measurement. Linear means a straight line, and indicates attention to the length dimension only. Lumber sold by the linear foot simply indicates the length of the boards placed end-to-end, no matter how wide or thick they are.
