Question
Define the term “Intensity” in photon picture of electromagnetic radiation.

Answer

The intensity I, is defined as the total amount of energy falling on a given surface/ Region per unit time 't' and per unit area 'A'.
If the total energy emitted = nhν
Then, $\text{I}=\frac{\text{nhv}}{\text{At}}$
