century‚ psychologist Ernst Weber developed a law for all stimuli relating physical intensity to magnitude perception. It stated that the change in the intensity of a stimulus (for example‚ from a quieter to louder sound) divided by the intensity of the stimulus (the loudness of a sound) equals a constant. Later‚ Gustav Fechner modifed Weber’s law slightly by expressing the relationships in terms of logarithms. As a result‚ the law is sometimes called the Weber–Fechner law. dp = k dS S In

The intensity I of a sound wave is measured in watts per metre squared ( ). The lowest intensity that the average human ear can detect‚ i.e. the threshold of hearing‚ is denoted by ‚ where . The loudness of sound‚ i.e. its intensity level ‚ is measured in decibels (dB)‚ where . From this function a specific relationship between and can be drawn that holds true for any increase in intensity. By knowing the value of beta ( )‚ the value of can be found via manipulation of the logarithmic
