Luminous intensity is a scalar quantity, as it only has magnitude (brightness) and no direction associated with it. It is typically measured in units of candela.
I think light could not be recoginzed as a vector. However, I think the light intensity could be devided into the x-y axises.
Intensity of a wave is a scalar quantity because it only has one value that represents the amount of energy transferred per unit area per unit time. It does not have a direction associated with it like a vector quantity.
Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.
When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.
Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.

A scalar times a vector is a vector.

Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.
Scalar
When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
A scalar multiplied by a vector involves multiplying each component of the vector by the scalar value. This operation scales the vector's magnitude while retaining its direction if the scalar is positive, or reversing its direction if the scalar is negative. The result is a new vector that has the same direction as the original (or the opposite direction if the scalar is negative) but a different magnitude.
