The intensity 10-12 W/m2 is not negative. It is very small fraction. If you write in decimal form it is 0.000000000001. In Scientific article/text
it is difficult to write such a small number, so it is written in exponent notation like 10-n  where n is the integer and that indicates n-1 zeros after decimal point
