Intensiveness vs. Intensity — What's the Difference?

Of, relating to, or characterized by intensity

Exceptionally great concentration, power, or force.

(Grammar) Tending to emphasize or intensify

(Physics) The amount or degree of strength of electricity, light, heat, or sound per unit area or volume.

Possessing or requiring to a high degree. Often used in combination

The strength of a color, especially the degree to which it lacks its complementary color.

Of or relating to agricultural production that achieves high yields per acre of land but requires significant input of labor or materials.

See saturation.

(Physics) Having the same value for any subdivision of a thermodynamic system

The quality of being intense.

A linguistic element, such as the adverb extremely or awfully, that provides force or emphasis. Also called intensifier.

The degree of strength.

The condition of being intensive.

(physics) Time-averaged energy flux (the ratio of average power to the area through which the power "flows"); irradiance.

The quality or state of being intensive; intensity.

(optics) Can mean any of radiant intensity, luminous intensity or irradiance.

High level or degree; the property of being intense

(astronomy) 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.

The state or quality of being intense; intenseness; extreme degree; as, intensity of heat, cold, mental application, passion, etc.

The amount or degree of energy with which a force operates or a cause acts; effectiveness, as estimated by results produced.

The magnitude of a distributed force, as pressure, stress, weight, etc., per unit of surface, or of volume, as the case may be; as, the measure of the intensity of a total stress of forty pounds which is distributed uniformly over a surface of four square inches area is ten pounds per square inch.

The degree or depth of color or shade in a picture.

The amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation);

High level or degree; the property of being intense

The magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction);

Chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vividness of hue
