Typically when astronomers use the term flux, they are referring to
an energy flux, or the amount of energy flowing through an area
(typically, spherical) in unit time. This is the same flux we refer
to when we calculate luminosity from flux and distance. Assuming
that flux is due solely to photons, derive an expression for
themomentum flux of the photons.
