Question 23 • Physics

What is the SI unit for intensity?

Answer
A
joule
B
mel
C
decibel
D
watt

Explanation

Intensity is power per unit area, so its SI unit is watts per square metre (W/m²). A watt alone measures power, not intensity, so none of the choices is fully correct. Choice D, “watt,” is the closest, but the complete unit should include “per square metre.”
