Conversion formula for converting amplitude ratio (AR) into decibels is ________________?

Correct answer: A. Decibel = 20 log10 (AR)

  • A. Decibel = 20 log10 (AR)
  • B. Decibel = 20 loge (AR)
  • C. Decibel = 20 log10 (AR)0.5
  • D. Decibel = 20 loge (AR)0.5

Explanation

For an amplitude ratio, the decibel value is defined as 20 times the base-10 logarithm of the ratio: dB = 20 log10(AR). The factor 20 is used for amplitude, whereas power ratios use 10 log10.
