From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Power transferred per unit area

For other uses, see Intensity (disambiguation).

In physics, the intensity or flux of radiant energy is the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the energy. In the SI system, it has units watts per square metre (W/m2), or kg⋅s−3 in base units. Intensity is used most frequently with waves such as acoustic waves (sound) or electromagnetic waves such as light or radio waves, in which case the average power transfer over one period of the wave is used. Intensity can be applied to other circumstances where energy is transferred. For example, one could calculate the intensity of the kinetic energy carried by drops of water from a garden sprinkler.

The word "intensity" as used here is not synonymous with "strength", "amplitude", "magnitude", or "level", as it sometimes is in colloquial speech.

Intensity can be found by taking the energy density (energy per unit volume) at a point in space and multiplying it by the velocity at which the energy is moving. The resulting vector has the units of power divided by area (i.e., surface power density). The intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude. For example, the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the square of the wave's electric field amplitude.

Mathematical description[edit]

If a point source is radiating energy in all directions (producing a spherical wave), and no energy is absorbed or scattered by the medium, then the intensity decreases in proportion to the distance from the object squared. This is an example of the inverse-square law.

Applying the law of conservation of energy, if the net power emanating is constant,

P

=

I

d

A

,

{\displaystyle P=\int \mathbf {I} \,\cdot d\mathbf {A} ,}

where

P is the net power radiated;

I is the intensity vector as a function of position;

the magnitude |I| is the intensity as a function of position;

dA is a differential element of a closed surface that contains the source.

If one integrates a uniform intensity, |I| = const., over a surface that is perpendicular to the intensity vector, for instance over a sphere centered around the point source, the equation becomes

P

,

{\displaystyle P=|I|\cdot A_{\mathrm {surf} }=|I|\cdot 4\pi r^{2},}

where

|I| is the intensity at the surface of the sphere;

r is the radius of the sphere;

A

s

u

r

f

=

{\displaystyle A_{\mathrm {surf} }=4\pi r^{2}}

is the expression for the surface area of a sphere.

.

{\displaystyle |I|={\frac {P}{A_{\mathrm {surf} }}}={\frac {P}{4\pi r^{2}}}.}

If the medium is damped, then the intensity drops off more quickly than the above equation suggests.

Anything that can transmit energy can have an intensity associated with it. For a monochromatic propagating electromagnetic wave, such as a plane wave or a Gaussian beam, if E is the complex amplitude of the electric field, then the time-averaged energy density of the wave, travelling in a non-magnetic material, is given by:

U

ε

|

E

|

,

{\displaystyle \left\langle U\right\rangle ={\frac {n^{2}\varepsilon _{0}}{2}}|E|^{2},}

and the local intensity is obtained by multiplying this expression by the wave velocity,

{\displaystyle I={\frac {\mathrm {c} n\varepsilon _{0}}{2}}|E|^{2},}

where

n is the refractive index;

c is the speed of light in vacuum;

ε0 is the vacuum permittivity.

For non-monochromatic waves, the intensity contributions of different spectral components can simply be added. The treatment above does not hold for arbitrary electromagnetic fields. For example, an evanescent wave may have a finite electrical amplitude while not transferring any power. The intensity should then be defined as the magnitude of the Poynting vector.[1]

Alternative definitions[edit]

In photometry and radiometry intensity has a different meaning: it is the luminous or radiant power per unit solid angle. This can cause confusion in optics, where intensity can mean any of radiant intensity, luminous intensity or irradiance, depending on the background of the person using the term. Radiance is also sometimes called intensity, especially by astronomers and astrophysicists, and in heat transfer.

All rights reserved.Intensity back and edge Wholeheartedly, vigorously; entirely, completely. The allusion is to the thin sharpened side of a blade, or “edge,” and the blunt side of the same blade, or “back.” Together the two sides constitute the whole of the blade; thus the figurative extension in meaning to ‘completely,’ ‘wholeheartedly’ ‘with one’s entire self ’blow up a storm To engage in any activity with such enthusiasm and vigor as to effect a noticeable change in one’s surroundings; also with the implication of being so caught up in the activity as to get carried away one-self. The most plausible explanation says the term comes from jazz trumpeting; another holds it stems from the storm of dust raised from the pit floor by the spectacular beating of wings and flurry of movement in a cockfight. Though blow up a storm appears to be the oldest and still most frequently heard form, up a storm itself is now commonly appended as an adverbial intensifier to many verbs of physical activity—one can work “up a storm,” sing “up a storm,” dance “up a storm,” and so on.full blast Maximum capacity, strength, volume, or speed; full swing; often in the phrase in or at full blast. In use as early as the 1830s, this phrase apparently originally connoted exaggerated or extreme behavior, appearance, etc., based on the following quotation from Frederick Marryat’s Diary in America II (1839):“When she came to meeting, with her yellow hat and feathers, wasn’t she in full blast?”Although the expression’s origin is unknown^ it may be related to the use of blast in relation to machinery: air forced into a furnace by a blower to increase the rate of combustion.full tilt At maximum speed, force, strength, or capacity; straight at or for, directly. This expression is said to have come from the way knights rode straight for one another at full gallop and with lances tilted when jousting. The phrase, which dates from about 1600, appears in Frederic E. Gretton’s Memory’s Harkback through Haifa-century (1805-58):The Earl rode full tilt at him as though he would have unhorsed him.go great guns See PROSPERING.go to town See PROSPERING.hammer and tongs Forcefully, violently, strenuously; energetically, vigorously, wholeheartedly. A blacksmith uses tongs to hold the hot iron as he pounds and hammers it into shape. To go at anything hammer and tongs is to exert similar strength and force to accomplish a goal.head over heels Intensely, completely, totally; rashly, impetuously. This expression, dating from the late 18th century, is a corruption of heels over head, which dates from the 14th century; both relate literally to body movement, as in a somersault. A similar phrase dating from the late 19th century is head over ears, a corruption of over head and ears ‘completely or deeply immersed or involved.’like a house afire See PACE.swear like a trooper See PROFANITY.to beat the band Vigorously, enthusiastically, intently, rapidly. To perform any activity with great force and gusto, so as to drown out or exceed the tempo of the band, as it were. The expression dates from the turn of the century.tooth and nail Fiercely, vigorously, with all one’s powers and resources. Despite its physical connotations of clawing, biting, and scratching, this phrase is almost always used figuratively. Such usage dates from the 16th century.with might and main Vigorously, strenuously; using one’s powers and resources to the utmost. The obsolete main is synonymous with might ‘power, strength’ and continues in the language only in this phrase as an intensifier—with might and main being a bit more forceful and somewhat more formal than with all one’s mightPicturesque Expressions: A Thematic Dictionary, 1st Edition. © 1980 The Gale Group, Inc.
