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.
In the following set of axes, the vertical scale is logarithmic (equal scale between powers of 10) and the horizontal scale is linear (even spaces between numbers). There are no negative numbers on the y-axis, since we can only find the logarithm of positive numbers. Semilogarithmic axes.
