dex

1. Jargon term from physics and astrophysics. An order or factor of ten. When dealing with log to the base 10 transform of a number set the transform of 10, 100, and 1 000 000 is log₁₀(10) = 1, log₁₀(100) = 2, and log₁₀(1000000) = 6, so the difference between 10 and 100 in base 10 is 1 dex and the difference between 1 and 1 000 000 is 6 dex.
