Answer
The'S' in Fechner's formula, S=K log R, represents the sensation magnitude, which is a subjective experience of the intensity of a stimulus. It is a logarithmic function of the stimulus magnitude, R, and the constant, K, which depends on the sensory modality. This formula mathematically describes the relationship between the physical intensity of a stimulus and the perceived intensity of the sensation.
