a) Define the term “standard candle” as used in cosmology b). The flux is defined as f(Dlum) = L /4πD2lum , where L is the absolute luminosity and Dlum is the distance to the radiation source (you may assume z ≪ 1). Assume that we have measured the flux to be f = 7.234 10−23Wm−2 and the absolute luminosity is given by L = 3.828 1026W. Calculate the luminosity distance Dlum to the object in Mpc. c). Calculate the distance modulus µ for the object of the previous subquestion. Show that the distance modulus µ can be written as given in image
