In physics, **parity** refers to a symmetry property related to spatial transformations. Specifically, it deals with how a physical system or equation remains invariant (unchanged) when coordinates are inverted or reflected through the origin. This transformation can be mathematically represented as changing \\( \\vec\{r\} \\) to \\( -\\vec\{r\} \\), effectively flipping the sign of the position vector.
