COMMENTS

Log_10 (2) is the probability that 1 be first significant digit occurring in data collections (Benford's law). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jan 21 2005
When adding two sound power sources of x decibels, the resulting sound power is x + 10*log_10(2), that is x + 3.01... decibels. [Jean-François Alcover, Jun 21 2013]
In engineering (all branches, but particularly electronic and electrical) power and amplitude ratios are measured rigorously in decibels (dB). This constant, with offset 1 (i.e., 3.01... = 10*A007524) is the dB equivalent of a 2:1 power ratio or, equivalently, sqrt(2):1 amplitude ratio. - Stanislav Sykora, Dec 11 2013
