%N Decimal expansion of 10th root of 10.

%C This is the ratio of +1 dB (one decibel). Decibels are the principal way how power ratios are measured in electric and electronic engineering, acoustics, meteorology, optics and other engineering branches. Corresponding amplitude (rather than power) ratio is given by the square root of this constant (A011289). - _Stanislav Sykora_, Apr 02 2012
