The term that describes the amount of energy transported past a given area of the medium per unit time would be "intensity." In addition, the formula for computing intensity would be:

Intensity = Energy / (Time * Area)

It can be implied that the wave would be more intense when its energy transfer rate gets increased and vibration amplitudes also increases.
