Whats the difference between , intensity density, and just intensity ()?

is energy per time per area, related to the intensity functions we talked about before in the context of interference. The difference here is that is a differential distribution: it’s per wavelength interval, and gives you the wavelength dependence of the intensity (before we were just concerned with a single wavelength, or an intensity integrated over all wavelengths).
