power per area of radiation
In physics, how much power or energy passes through a certain area in a certain time, for example in a beam of light or sound.
תבנית שימוש:
the intensity of [radiation/field/beam]

Learners may mix the everyday meaning of "intensity" with the strict physical definition. In physics, intensity usually includes the idea of power per unit area, not just "strong" or "weak" in a general sense.
מילים נרדפות
