What term refers to the strength or intensity of sunlight exposure?

Waveform
Exposure
Dosage
Intensity

The correct answer is: Dosage

The term that refers to the strength or intensity of sunlight exposure is "intensity." In the context of sunlight and its effects on the skin, intensity describes how powerful the sunlight is at a given time, which can impact issues like sun damage and the effectiveness of tanning. Understanding intensity is crucial for estheticians when advising clients on sun protection and skincare, as it directly relates to how harmful or beneficial the sun's rays can be at various times of the day or during different seasons. The other choices do not specifically capture the concept of strength in sunlight exposure. "Waveform" refers to the shape of a wave, particularly in physics and acoustics, rather than sunlight exposure. "Exposure" is a general term for the act of being subject to something, in this case, sunlight, but it does not denote strength or intensity itself. "Dosage" typically relates to medicine or the amount of a particular substance administered, which is not directly applicable to sunlight exposure in the same way intensity is.
