%N Decimal expansion of log_10 2.

%C Log_10 (2) is the probability that 1 be first significant digit occurring in data collections (Benford's law). - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Jan 21 2005

%C 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

%C 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
