What physical measure does'I' represent in Fechner's law?

Answer
The intensity of a stimulus, denoted as'I' in Fechner's law, quantifies the strength or magnitude of a sensory stimulus. According to this principle, the subjective perception of a stimulus, such as its brightness, loudness, or weight, increases logarithmically with the physical intensity of the stimulus.
