| Fechner-Weber law | The intensity of a sensation varies by a series of equal increments (arithmetically) as the strength of the stimulus is increased geometrically; if a series of stimuli is applied and so adjusted in strength that each stimulus causes a just perceptible change in intensity of the sensation, then the strength of each stimulus differs from the preceding one by a constant fraction; thus, if a just perceptible change in a visual sensation is produced by the addition of 1 candle to an original illumination of 100 candles, 10 candles will be required to produce any change in sensation when the original illumination was one of 1000 candles. Synonym: Fechner-Weber law, Weber's law. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Koch's law | To establish the specificity of a pathogenic microorganism, it must be present in all cases of the disease, inoculations of its pure cultures must produce disease in animals, and from these it must be again obtained and be propagated in pure cultures. Synonym: Koch's law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ferry-Porter law | The critical fusion is directly proportional to the logarithm of the light intensity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fick's law of diffusion | The principle that a substance put into solution will tend to diffuse towards constant concentration throughout the solution. (09 Oct 1997) |
| first law of thermodynamics | This law, derived from the principle of conservation of energy, is expressed as E = Q - W, where E is the internal change in energy, Q is the heat the environment transfers into the system, and W is the work the system does. In other words, it means that: The internal energy in a system isolated from other systems remains constant The change in the internal energy of a system that is not isolated is equal to the energy that crosses its boundariesinto or out of other systemsIt can be further extrapolated to mean that despite all the processesgoing on in the universe, the total energy contained in the universeremains constant.

| Flatau's law | A law concerning the excentric position of the long spinal tracts; the greater the distance the nerve fibres run lengthwise in the cord, the more they tend to be situated toward its periphery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lambert's law | Each layer of equal thickness absorbs an equal fraction of the light that traverses it; Cf.: Beer-Lambert law. The illumination of a surface on which the light falls normally from a point source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Landouzy-Grasset law | In lesions of one hemisphere, the patient's head is turned to the side of the affected muscles if there is spasticity and to that of the cerebral lesion if there is paralysis. Synonym: Grasset's law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lapicque's law | The chronaxie is inversely proportional to the diameter of an axon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Laplace's law | The equilibrium relationship between transmural pressure difference (dP), wall tension (T), and radius of curvature (R) in a concave surface; for a sphere: dP = 2T/R; for a cylinder: dP = T/R. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law | A scientific principle that invariably holds true under specificconditions, for instance, the law of magnetism states that likemagnetic poles repel one another, while opposite poles attract. See: hypothesis, theory. (09 Oct 1997) |
| law of average localization | Visceral pain is most accurately localised in the least mobile viscera and least accurately in the most mobile. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of biogenesis | The theory formulated by E.H. Haeckel that individuals in their embryonic development pass through stages similar in general structural plan to the stages their species passed through in its evolution; more technically phrased, the theory that ontogeny is an abbreviated recapitulation of phylogeny. Synonym: biogenetic law, law of biogenesis, Haeckel's law, law of recapitulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of constant numbers in ovulation | The number of ova discharged at each ovulation is nearly constant for any given species. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of contiguity | When two ideas or psychologically perceived events have once occurred in close association they are likely to so occur again, the subsequent occurrence of one tending to elicit the other; this law figures prominently in modern theories of conditioning and learning.
