Symmetries and conservation laws are studied for two classes
of physically and analytically interesting radial wave equations
with power nonlinearities in multi-dimensions.
The results consist of two main classifications:
all symmetries of point type and all conservation laws of a general energy-momentum type
are explicitly determined,
including those such as dilations, inversions, similarity energies and conformal energies
that exist only for special powers or dimensions.
In particular, all variational cases (when a Lagrangian formulation exists)
and non-variational cases (when no Lagrangian exists)
for these wave equations are considered.
As main results, the classification yields generalized energies and radial momenta
in certain non-variational cases,
which are shown to arise from a new type of Morawetz dilation identity
that produces conservation laws for each of the two classes of wave equations
in a different way than Noether's theorem.
