The bel is the logarithm (to the base 10) of a power ratio.
Decibels are ten times that.


Errm, 1/10_th surely.


Nope. There are ten decibels in one bel.


My point stands.



** It falls, like any of your pedantic tripe.


A decibel is 1/10 of a bel.
That's what I said before. It's NOT what you wrote.


** There is an obvious understood word at the end of Bill's remark.

That word is "number".

"Decibels are 10 times that NUMBER".

Given that the "log" of 10 is 1, a power ratio of 10 is 10 decibels or 1
Bell.
