IWR1443: ROS: what does intensity mean here?

Part Number: IWR1443

I am using Rviz to visualize the points as explained in this tutorial: 

Then I am using Rosbag to store the data. When I convert *.bag file to .txt, I get something like this:

Can someone tell me what does intensity stand for here? Thanks.
