I understood it now, thanks all for explaining.

For voltages and currents we will take 10log but for power calculations in dB form we will take it as 20log.

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

10 log or 20 log, can somebody explain it?

Why we put here 20log?

Please derive it.

Why we put here 20log? What's the reason?

Dhaivat said:   9 years ago
Pressure (in dB) = 20log(P/P0)

Putting the values;

90 = 20log(P/(2 * 10^-5)).
90/20 = log(P/(2 * 10^-5)).
4.5 = log(P/(2 * 10^-5)).
10^4.5 = P/(2 * 10^-5).

Calculating, we get P = .632.

I want a formula for solving the solution. If anybody knows, please provide it.
