Why does a type Ia supernova make a better indicator of distance than a type II supernova?

Type Ia supernovae [See Link] follow a characteristic light curve. This luminosity is generated by the radioactive decay of certain elements. The peak luminosity of the light curve was believed to be consistent across Type Ia supernovae as having a maximum absolute magnitude of about -19.3. This would allow them to be used as a secondary "standard candle" [See Link] to measure the distance to their host galaxies

Why did it have to be a supernova?
The question does not make sense.
How do supernova die?
Your question does not make sense. A supernova does not die. A supernova is what happens when a supergiant or a hypergiant star becomes unstable and cannot maintain stability and explodes cutting away half of it's mass. I hope this helps you.

How do you make a pH indicator not using red cabbage?
A pH indicator can be made out of grape juice or beetroot or even eggplant. Grate 1/4 cup of beetroot or eggplant into 2 cup water, boil for 10 min and strain for the dark liquid, by the way grape juice could be used right out of carton. Add indicator to the substance that is being tested, it will be more red for pH of 2 and greener for pH of 12, and test for better knowledge of all colors that pH indicator can turn.

What is the relationship between the periodic table and a supernova?
The elements on the periodic table were created by stars through nuclear fusion. We use the term stellar nucleosynthesis to describe what stars are doing through fusion. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium, and then start making heavier elements by a different fusion process. But stars can only make elements up through iron. They can't make the heavier elements. Enter the supernova. A supernova is that "big blast" that occurs at the end of the life of some stars. In a supernova, the trans-iron elements are formed. That is, all the elements heavier than iron are formed in a supernova. Because the elements heavier than iron are formed in a supernova, we can say that there is a relationship between the supernova and the periodic table of elements.

What does warning light with waves under it on dashboard mean?
If it is a car with waves under it then it is a slip indicator. If it is just waves it can be low coolant or low windshield fluid. It can also be rear defroster indicator. Need better description and make, model, and year of vehicle to be sure.
