Hello,
I have a problem: how can I convert decibels into linear values? What is the linear unit for sound level measurement? How can I conver tlinear value back to decibels?
I am sorry for a lot of questions...
Thank you!

You will need a calculator that performs log functions. If you don't have a physical calculator with these functions, you may have a virtual calculator in your computer that may be switched to the "scientific calculator mode".
Good Luck!
