  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012760",
  "term": "X-ray intensity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The power per unit area carried by X-rays, often expressed as the number of photons per unit area per unit time. It quantifies the strength of an X-ray beam, influencing the signal obtained in X-ray analytical techniques. In spectroscopy, it is directly proportional to the concentration of the emitting element under ideal conditions.",
