What does Weber's law refers to?

Answer 1

weber-fechner law (effect of intensity of stimulus on receptors) :-

the frequency of the action potentials conducted along the afferent nerve fiber is directly proportional to logarithm of the intensity of the stimulus applied to the receptor. This means that an increase in the intensity of the stimulus leads to an increase in the amplitude of generator or receptor potential, that increase the frequency of the action potential conducted along the afferent fibers connected to the receptor.

Answer 2

The Weber-Fechner law combines two different laws. Some authors use the term to mean Weber's law, and others Fechner's law. Fechner himself added confusion to the literature by calling his own law Weber's law.[1] Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795-1878) was one of the first people to approach the study of the human response to a physical stimulus in a quantitative fashion.[2] His law states that the just-noticeable difference between two stimuli is proportional to the magnitude of the stimuli. Gustav Theodor Fechner (1801-1887) later offered an elaborate theoretical interpretation of Weber's findings, in which he attempted to describe the relationship between the physical magnitudes of stimuli and the perceived intensity of the stimuli. Fechner's law states that subjective sensation is proportional to the logarithm of the stimulus intensity.

Answer 3

Weber's law, also known as the Weber-Fechner law, states that the just noticeable difference between two stimuli is proportional to the magnitude of the stimuli. In other words, the difference threshold increases as the intensity of the stimulus increases. This law is often used to study perception and how we detect differences in stimuli.
