Jannika is sitting in a room with one candle to light her space. Another person enters and brings another candle, which increases the total light by 50 percent. Will Jannika detect the difference in light illumination?

▸ Yes, according to Weber's Law, one more candle will be enough of a difference to be detectable.

▸ No, the light of the initial candle is too intense for one more candle to make a difference.

▸ No, Weber's Law states a 50 percent increase in light won't be enough to be detected.

▸ There is actually no difference in the overall illumination of one versus two candles.
