, title= (senseid)The ratio of one quantity to that of another quantity.
(senseid)The probability that an event will occur, as a function of some observed variable.
the quality of being intense
the degree of strength
(physics) time-averaged energy flux (the ratio of average power to the area through which the power "flows"); irradiance
(optics) can mean any of radiant intensity, luminous intensity or irradiance
(astronomy) syn. radiance
(geology) The severity of an earthquake in terms of its effects on the earth's surface, and buildings. The value depends on the distance from the epicentre, and is not to be confused with the magnitude.
In physics terms the difference between density and intensity
is that density is (physics: amount of matter contained by a given volume) A measure of the amount of matter contained by a given volume while intensity is time-averaged energy flux (the ratio of average power to the area through which the power "flows"); irradiance.density
