Understand the meaning of each term related to UV light and lamps: Wavelength refers to the distance between successive peaks of a wave and determines the color or type of UV light.
Transmittance is the fraction or percentage of light that passes through a sample without being absorbed.
Absorbance measures how much light is absorbed by a sample, indicating how much light does not pass through.
Intensity refers to the amount or strength of light produced by a source, such as a UV lamp, often related to the energy output or brightness of the light.
Since the question asks for the term that describes the amount of UV light produced by the lamp, the correct term is Intensity.
