Yes. That's why only photons (no rest mass) can be in two places at once.

What does the conservaton suggest about the conservation of energy the conservation of matter and the conservation of momentum?

The Conservation of Matter and the Conservation of Momentum are the consequence of the Conservation of Energy.


Light energy is proof of which Conservation Law?

I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum. A photon has both energy and momentum.I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum.

Which of the conservation law does not apply to an inelastic collision?

Both conservation laws are applied. The conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. However, in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved. But total energy IS CONSERVED and the principle of conservation of energy does hold.


How is friction different from the laws of conservation of energy?

There are no "laws" of conservation of energy, just the law of conservation of energy. The existence of friction doesn't change anything - the law of conservation of energy still holds.


Why the law of conservation of energy can mean that you do not have unlimited sources of energy?

That is because the law of conservation of energy states that you can not create new energy.

Why did scientists believe in a neutrino long before it was detected?

This was because of laws of conservation of: momentum, angular momentum, and energy. In certain reactions, these were apparently not conserved; a hypothetical particle would resolve the observed discrepancy.This was because of laws of conservation of: momentum, angular momentum, and energy.

How the principle of conservation of energy is violated in beta decay?

because it is negatively charged particle (an electron). It ionises and becomes a proton changing the atomic number, but not the mass.

What is the conservation energy?

Perhaps you mean "energy conservation", or equivalently, "conservation of energy". That refers to the fact that there is a quantity called energy, which can't be increased or decreased (in a closed system).

What is the process by which heat transfers from one particle of matter to another when the particles collides?

The process is conservation of momentum. Kinetic energy from the faster particle at least partially transferred to the slower particle. Since the internal energy of a fixed mass is directly related to the kinnetic energy of the particles making up the mass (lower temperature means lower kinetic energy of the molecules of the mass) and the energy moves from the the faster molecules to the slower ones, it qualifies as heat - which is defined as the movement of energy driven by a temperature gradient.
