ABSTRACT
Graph paper is available where the scale markings along the horizontal and vertical axes are proportional to the logarithms of the numbers. Such graph paper is called log-log graph paper.
A logarithmic scale is shown in Fig. 29.1 where the distance between, say 1 and 2, is proportional to lg 2 lg 1, i.e. 0.3010 of the total distance from 1 to 10. Similarly, the distance between 7 and 8 is proportional to lg 8 lg 7, i.e. 0.05799 of the total
distance from 1 to 10. Thus the distance between markings progressively decreases as the numbers increase from 1 to 10.
