    Privet Phil! This is completely off topic, but I just wanted to say that it is nice to see someone who likes Russian language. :-) Всего доброго. P.S. Perhaps you should consider changing "язикь" in your signature to "язык". :-) ------------------------------ http://www.kostya.com/ [^]

        So, a jet is twice as loud as her then. :) -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

          Nah. The dB scale is logarithmic, so a jet is ten times louder.

            Exactly! for each 10 dB, you double. :) -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

                Yes, you are right. I just calculated it to be ~3.0103 dB per double intensity. I wonder where I got the double per 10 dB from. :~ Do you know of any other physical phenomenon that behaves in that way? :rolleyes: -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

My second language (in order of learning) was French but I have forgotten most of it by now because I haven't used it for over 10 years. I keep promising myself that one day I will buy me a French language manual and will try to refresh my memory. Not that I have any use for French, but I feel bad that I don't remember any of it. Well, I have another reason - I always wanted to read Alexander Dumas books in the language they were written. :) ------------------------------ http://www.kostya.com/ [^]
