How to convert stop (photographic)s to decibel (power)s

Convert through a plain ratio: stop (photographic) → ratio → decibel (power). Logarithmic units cannot be converted by multiplying alone.

Stop (photographic): One stop doubles the light. Identical arithmetic to the octave.

Decibel (power): Ten times the base-10 log of a power ratio. 3 dB is roughly double the power.
