Heat capacity properties are often prefixed with the term "specific". International standards now recommend that specific heat capacity always refer to division by mass. The units for the specific heat capacity are formula_7. In chemistry, heat capacity is often specified relative to one mole, the unit of amount of substance, and is called the molar heat capacity. It has the unit formula_8. For some considerations it is useful to specify the volume-specific heat capacity, commonly called volumetric heat capacity, which is the heat capacity per unit volume and has SI units formula_9. This is used almost exclusively for liquids and solids, since
Intensity (physics) irradiance, depending on the background of the person using the term. Radiance is also sometimes called "intensity", especially by astronomers and astrophysicists, and in heat transfer. Intensity (physics) In physics, intensity is the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the energy. In the SI system, it has units watts per square metre (W/m). It is used most frequently with waves (e.g. sound or light), in which case the "average" power transfer over one period of the wave is used. "Intensity" can be applied to other circumstances
