The use <strong>of</strong> the logarithm <strong>of</strong> the relative exposure, rather than the relative<br />

exposure itself, has a number <strong>of</strong> advantages. It compresses an otherwise<br />

long scale. Furthermore, in radiography, ratios <strong>of</strong> exposures or intensities are<br />

usually more significant than the exposures or the intensities themselves.<br />

Pairs <strong>of</strong> exposures having the same ratio will be separated by the same<br />

interval on the log relative exposure scale, no matter what their absolute<br />

value may be. Consider the following pairs <strong>of</strong> exposures.<br />
