definition: The intensity of something is its strength or energy level. If a light shines with great intensity, it shines very brightly--its light is very strong. Intensity is also how much energy or attention someone puts into what they are doing. For example, if someone plays the drums with intensity, they focus all their strength or attention on hitting them.
