Weber Fechner Law is

A
Magnitude of stimulus strength perceived is approximately propoionate to the log of the intensity of stimulus strength
B
Magnitude of stimulus strength perceived is directly propoional to the intensity of stimulus strength
C
Threshold of receptor is directly propoional to stimulus strength
D
Threshold of receptor is inversely propoional to stimulus strength
High-Yield Explanation
The magnitude of the sensation felt is propoional to the log of the intensity of the stimulus (Weber-Fechner law) . It now appears, however, that a power function more accurately describes this relation. In other words, R = KSA where R is the sensation felt, S is the intensity of the stimulus, and, for any specific sensory modality, K and A are constants. P = K lnS/S0 (REF: Ganong's review of medical physiology 23rd Edition page no.153)
