Discuss the following conservation laws: energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, electric charge, baryon number, lepton number, and strangeness. Are all of these laws based on fundamental properties of nature? Explain.
Solutions
VerifiedA conservation law states that a certain quantity never changes in an isolated system, no matter whatever changes it undergoes. All these conservation laws mentioned in the problem statement are true; however, conservation laws for baryon number, lepton number and strangeness are not fundamental properties in nature as they can be violated under certain conditions, they are stated to explain some forbidden reactions. Conservation laws for energy, momentum (linear and angular), and charge are fundamental properties in nature.
As we know, the law of conservation states that a certain quantity never changes in an isolated system, no matter whatever changes it undergoes this system.
