density [ˈdɛnsɪtɪ]
n pl -ties
1. the degree to which something is filled, crowded, or occupied high density of building in towns
2. obtuseness; stupidity
3. (Physics / General Physics) a measure of the compactness of a substance, expressed as its mass per unit volume. It is measured in kilograms per cubic metre or pounds per cubic foot. Symbol ρ See also relative density
4. (Physics / General Physics) a measure of a physical quantity per unit of length, area, or volume See charge density, current density
5. (Physics / General Physics) Physics Photog See transmission density, reflection density

density  (dns-t)
A measure of the quantity of some physical property (usually mass) per unit length, area, or volume (usually volume). Mass density is a measure of the mass of a substance per unit volume. Most substances (especially gases such as air) increase in density as their pressure is increases or as their temperature decreases. Energy density is a measure of the amount of energy (often in the form of electromagnetic radiation) per unit volume in a region of space or some material. See also Boyle's law.
