Am I wrong, or is my professor? Intensity Question

[Dale]

still haven't heard a compelling answer to my question. Anyone?

The professor was right.

I am not sure what you would find compelling, but your reasoning is fundamentally flawed. You based your claim on an equation with many variables, but considered only the effect of one variable. What about all of the others? You cannot use that equation to claim an increase in intensity if you don't know how all of the variables change.

The professors explanation was correct and simple.

You have but you just don't seem to have accepted / understood it. Read it all again in the frame of mind that we (and your Professor) could actually be right.
