UNIT 4 APPENDICESYour FiberMeter meter has a decibel(dB) range that spans 75dB. The whole purpose of your meter is to measure light energy in decibel

There are other decibels to consider. The decibel we previously described is”dB” is called relative. This is because it is a ratio as was explained.
