when E is converted into matter,particle-anti particle pair is created. now, my doubt is, when this happens whether only a specific antiparticle can be created for a particle?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yes, each particle has its specific anti-particle. matter can be created from energy only by producing a particle and its specific anti-particle.
 
as already said, only one anti-particle for each particle which has the same properties but opposite charge

e.g. positron
 
thanks. Sorry for the silly doubt.It is just that my teacher said a different thing and i got all jittery.
