No. A decibel is one tenth of a bel. The decibel is a logarithmic unit of measurement that expresses the magnitude of a physical quantity relative to a specified reference level. It is a dimensionless unit, because it expresses a ratio of two quantities with the same unit.
Southwell, decibel, and parallel are three good examples.
One times one equal one.
ten
no one half is equal to 1/2
A unit of power or intensity equal to one tenth of a bel is a decibel.
one tenth Bel = 1 deciBel = 1 dB
Deci is one-tenth. Bel is for Alexander Graham Bell.
Decibel (dB) * The Bel is the primary unit. However, the scale is too large. So for human hearing, we use the deciBel, where each deciBel is 1/10 of a Bel. this is abbreviated dB.
nothing rhymes with decibel perfectly but you can look on WWW.OneLook.com for words ending in *Bel
"Deci" means 1/10th of. So a decimeter = 0.1 meter Similarly, a deciBel = 0.1 Bel
The word "decibel" originates from the combination of "deci-" (meaning one-tenth) and "Bel," which is named after Alexander Graham Bell. It is used to measure the intensity of sound.
Decibel with the abbreviation dB is equal to one-tenth of a bel, after Alexander Graham Bell. It is a measuring system, first used in telephony in 1929, where signal loss is a logarithmic function of the cable length; see: W.H. Martin, "DeciBel - the new name for the transmission unit. Bell System Tech. J. January, 1929".

The loudness of sound is measured using the "decibel" or "bel" unit.
The unit of measuring loudness of sound is called the decibel (dB). The decibel scale is logarithmic and is used to compare the intensity of different sounds.
There are 10 decibels in 1 Bel. The Bel is a logarithmic unit used to compare the ratio of two power levels, with the decibel being a more commonly used fraction of the Bel.
