Question
100%
**Understanding Decibel Calculations**

**Formulas:**
- \( \text{dB} = 10 \log_{10} \left( \frac{P_{\text{final}}}{P_{\text{ref}}} \right) \)
- \( \text{dB} = 20 \log_{10} \left( \frac{V_{\text{final}}}{V_{\text{ref}}} \right) \)

**Problems:**

1. **Power Loss in a Fiber Link:**
   - The source power of the original laser (\(P_{\text{ref}}\)) is seven microwatts (\(1 \times 10^{-6}\) Watts). The total loss of the fiber link is 13 dB.
   - **Question:** How much power is delivered?

2. **Power Delivery with Significant Loss:**
   - The total loss of a fiber link is 84 dB. The source power of the original laser (\(P_{\text{ref}}\)) is 1 milliwatt.
   - **Question:** How much power is delivered?

3. **Voltage Gain or Loss:**
   - Measured voltage at the end of a cable is 2 microvolts, or \(2 \times 10^{-6}\) volts. The source voltage was 1 volt.
   - **Question:** What is the gain or loss in decibels? Is this value positive or negative? Does the value represent a gain or a loss in voltage?
