Question

In below mentioned options which one defines correctly the semi-log graph?

(a) 10-cycle semi-logarithmic paper

(b) 6- cycle semi-logarithmic paper

(c) 2- cycle semi-logarithmic paper

(d) 1- cycle semi logarithmic paper

I had been asked this question in a national level competition.

The doubt is from Graph Paper with Logarithmic Coordinates topic in section Presentation and Analysis of Data of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) 1- cycle semi logarithmic paper

For explanation I would say: In one-cycle semi-logarithmic paper, the vertical scale goes from 1 to 10 and within the One order of magnitude (10^1) whereas, in others the magnitude varies like in 2 – cycle there is the magnitude of two i.e. (10^2) and likewise other options have different magnitudes according to their number of cycles.
