How to use it
In Arabic, 'intensity' can be translated by several words depending on the context. 'Shiddah' (شدة) is often used for physical force or strength, like the intensity of an earthquake or a sound. 'Kathāfah' (كثافة) refers to density or concentration, like light intensity. 'Ḥiddah' (حدة) means sharpness or severity, used for things like storms or emotions.
