The astronomical magnitude convention is , with both fluxes measured through the same photometric passband. A five-unit magnitude difference therefore corresponds to
(1)
The brighter endpoint has one hundred times the visual flux of the fainter endpoint. Absolute fluxes require a magnitude zero point, which is not given.
