On the assumptions (1) that the state of the photoreceptor is completely determined by its previous history in respect of exposure to light, (2) that photoreception involves two opposed processes, one of which is light-sensitive, and (3) that sensation is determined by the rate of the light-sensitive process integrated over a short period, it is shown that Talbot's law has as a necessary consequence that the velocity of the light-sensitive process must be directly proportional to the intensity of the stimulating light.
(1)光感受器的状态完全由其之前暴露于光的历史决定;(2)光感受涉及两个相反的过程,其中一个过程对光敏感;(3)感觉是由短时间内光敏感过程的速率决定的,那么可以得出结论,塔尔博特定律的一个必要推论是,光敏感过程的速度必须与刺激光的强度成正比。
