intensity

1. The amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation) (synset 105107058)
   "he adjusted the intensity of the sound"; "they measured the station's signal strength"
   is a type of: magnitude - the property of relative size or extent (whether large or small)
   subtypes:

   • radio brightness - the strength of a radio wave picked up by a radio telescope
   • threshold level - the intensity level that is just barely perceptible
   • field intensity, field strength - the vector sum of all the forces exerted by an electrical or magnetic field (on a unit mass or unit charge or unit magnetic pole) at a given point in the field
   • candlepower, light intensity - luminous intensity measured in candelas
   • acoustic power, sound pressure level - the physical intensity of sound
   • half-intensity - half the maximum intensity
   same as: intensity level, strength
2. High level or degree;
   The property of being intense (synset 105043549)
   is a type of: degree, grade, level - a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality
   subtypes:

   • force, forcefulness, strength - physical energy or intensity
   • badness, severeness, severity - used of the degree of something undesirable e.g. pain or weather
   • emphasis, vehemence - intensity or forcefulness of expression
   • top - the greatest possible intensity
   • ferocity, fierceness, furiousness, fury, vehemence, violence, wildness - the property of being wild or turbulent
   same as: intensiveness
3. The magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction) (synset 104997456)
   "the kids played their music at full volume"
   tells us about:

   • loud - characterized by or producing sound of great volume or intensity
   • soft - (of sound) relatively low in volume
   is a type of: sound property - an attribute of sound
   subtypes: crescendo - (music) a gradual increase in loudness
   same as: loudness, volume
4. Chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vivid in hue (synset 104982607)
   is a type of: color property - an attribute of color
   substance meronym: chromatic color, chromatic colour, spectral color, spectral colour - a color that has hue
   same as: chroma, saturation, vividness
