semi log paper is very beneficial for us because when we get a big value of the experiment then we cannot put it easily to a general graph paper because we have to take more than two or three graph paper .so in semi log paper we can easily put the big value of the experiment because we know that log(1)=0.so when the value of log is greater than we can use it.
A normal graph plot one variable against another. If one of these variable has a very rapid rate of growth it would quickly disappear off the graph. If you used a graph large enough to show the entire range you would lose much of the detail at the lower end. Using a log or semi-log graph reduces the rate of change whilst still allowing you to represent the relationship between the variables. You can see an example of log graph paper using the lnk in the related links section below.
why would you use a semi-logarithmic graph instead of a linear one?what would the curve of the graph actually show?
They both pass through the point (1,0) and have the same general shape. The log(x) curve is less steep than ln(x).
The graph of is shifted 3 units down and 2 units right. Which equation represents the new graph?

A semi-log graph is used in plotting exponential graphs. It is used in graphing data with a very large range on one axis which does not follow a linear progression.

Bode plot is for Frequency Response Analysis Root-Locus plot is for time-domain analysis
It is a coordinate system or graph paper in which one axis (usually the y-axis) is to a logarithmic scale and the other (x-axis) is "normal".
You can get semi-log or log-log graph paper. In the first, the horizontal axis is linear while the vertical axis has a logarithmic scale. You can always use the paper sideways so that the horizontal is logarithmic and the vertical linear. The second type has both axes with logarithmic scales. Alternatively, you calculate the appropriate values and plot the results using the usual Cartesian coordinate system.
Not necessarily. It depends on the graph "paper" used. For example, you can get semi-log graph paper in which the x-axis is normal but the y-axis has a logarithmic scale. This feature is available on Excel in "format axis". On such a coordinate system, an exponential equation becomes a straight line.
slope of best fit gives mean value?
To plot a semi log graph with gridlines in Excel, you will first need to input your data. Then, find the chart wizard tool and select XY scatter, and for chart type, select scatter with data points selected by lines.
-----------
One axis (usually the vertical axis) is on a log scale, the other is a linear scale.
