Definition
强度 (qiáng dù) is a noun for the measurable degree of strength or intensity — used for materials, light, sound, or exercise. Unlike 力量 (lì liàng 'power/force'), which is more general and often about personal or physical capability, 强度 focuses on a quantifiable level. It also differs from 力度 (lì dù), which emphasizes the force applied to an action or policy.
