I have two strobes set up, each angles 45 degrees horizontally from the subject. Assuming no ambient light, if I shoot one at 1/4 power, and the second at 1/8, is that a 1:2 ratio? I'm assuming it is.

If I shoot one strobe at 1/4 power, and the second at 1/16, is that a 1:3 ratio?

Sorry for the ignorance, I just wanted to make sure I understood that concept correctly. Thanks in advance for your help.
