A field falling to half its value corresponds to a loss of about

  • A.3 dB
  • B.20 dB
  • C.0.5 dB
  • D.6 dB

Answer: D

Twenty times the logarithm of one half is minus 6.02 decibels. Halving the power, which is halving the square of the field, gives three decibels instead, and confusing the two factors is the commonest slip with decibels.
