Define intensity of a wave....

Define intensity of a wave.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The average power transported by a wave per unit surface area of the medium is known as the intensity of the wave.
[Note `: I =( "Power")/("area") =2pi^(2) f^(2) A^(2) pv`.
where `rho`-density of the medium and v-velocity of the wave ].
