25. decibel
    one-tenth of the bel NOTE 1 - The decibel is more often used than the bel as a unit of level. NOTE 2 - The decibel can be defined as a unit of level of a power-like quantity when the base of the logarithm is the tenth root of ten. Also, the decibel is the unit of level of a field quantity when the base of the logarithm is the 20th root of ten.
