Logarithmic Scale and Pollutant Concentration

Mark
< Prev
Next >

The signal level, SS, from a pollutant monitoring instrument is determined by the equation S=log⁡10(C)S=\log_{10}(C), where CC represents the pollutant concentration in μg/L\mu g/L. If one lake has a signal level of 1.2 and another has a signal level of 1.8, by what approximate factor is the pollutant concentration in the second lake greater than in the first?

A

Approximately 4 times greater

B

Approximately 1.6 times greater

C

Approximately 10 times greater

D

Approximately 2 times greater
