Logarithmic Scales - Measured Value (Power) to Magnitude

Level 1

This math topic involves practicing logarithmic functions to compute magnitudes on different scientific scales. Skills honed include determining magnitudes on the Richter scale and decibel scale from given wave heights and sound energy levels, as well as calculating pH values from concentrations of hydrogen ions. Each question presents the necessary logarithmic functions and gives two possible answers, requiring comprehension of logarithms to select the correct value. The problems vary in difficulty and numerical magnitude, preparing learners to handle logarithms in practical scientific measurement contexts.
