Weber's law

Explanation:

Weber's law: In psychology, the term "Weber's law" is also referred as Weber-Fechner law, and is defined as one of the psychological laws which are responsible for quantifying the related change in the perception of a specific stimulus. It describes that the changes related to the stimulus will be considered as just noticeable and is a constant ration to the former or original stimulus.

Ernst Heinrich Weber has introduced the just noticeable difference which is also denoted as JND (based on perception and sensation i. e, psychophysics).
