Summary: | The theories that combine two different approaches in dealing with
interacting objects, for instance, treating electromagnetic laser field
classically, and the interacting atom as a quantum object, have some
ambiguities and, as such, they should be labeled as “mixed”. From the
Noether's Theorem Corollary, which we proved earlier, about the conservation
laws of energy, momentum and angular momentum in mixed theories, follows that
the aforementioned theories do not support the law of angular momentum/spin
conservation (to be precise, the obtained result does not imply that the law
of conservation of angular momentum and spin is not valid generally, but
rather that mixed theories can produce the results which might violate this
law). In present paper, an additional explanation following our Corollary is
given to why the calculation of the stopping power in the fully quantized
theory gives better results than those that were obtained in mixed theories,
which further confirms the predictions of our Corollary. [Projekat
