Logarithmic Scale

Posted by Heather

Today in class we recieved a new packet. This packet introduces the concept of a logarithm function. The logarithm converts any positive number into its “power-of-ten exponent”. Today we did activity 2.3 in the packet through number 3. These problems used two new concepts:

magnitude: M=log(l/l0)

relative intensity: RI=l/l0

Tomarrow we will be going over these problems so everyone should have problems 1-3 completed.

The next scribe will be stefan.
