< Prev
Next >

In pollutant monitoring, the signal level from an instrument is given by $$S=\log_{10}(C)$$ where $$C$$ is the concentration in $$\mu g/L$$. If one lake has a signal level of 1.2 and another has 1.8, approximately by what factor is the pollutant concentration in the second lake greater than that in the first?

A

Approximately 10 times greater

B

Approximately 1.6 times greater

C

Approximately 4 times greater
