    The SI unit of intensity is the watt per square meter/metre (W/m^2.)

    Explanation:

    Intensity is equal to the power transferred per unit area. Since power is measured in watts (W) and 1 W = 1 J/s, then intensity can be viewed as how fast energy goes through a certain area.

    In physics, intensity is often used when studying light, sound, or other phenomena that involve waves or energy transfer. (With waves, the power value is taken as the average power transfer over the wave's period.)
