intensity
Degree of strength
Intensity is the degree of strength, force, or concentration of something.
Physical intensity can be measured: the intensity of light, heat, or sound.
Emotional intensity is felt: the intensity of her gaze, the intensity of first love.
Intense experiences are vivid and consuming.
