I encountered a weird conflict between my thought process and that of author's solution in book: The common viewpoint of both of us were invoking conservation of energy of this SHM system But the author proceeds to solve it using conservation of momentum, taking the new mass added to system as...

This problem was asked in one of the most prestigious exams in India: JEE Advanced, unfortunately it was considered to be ambiguous for the scope of given examination and hence no official answer is issued for it as such.(BONUS marks to all) And so many solutions were posted on Internet which...

Thank you kuruman and TSny, I kind of made a monster out of a little moth. Never knew this would be so simple ! :) For others who are struggling with the same problem, here is complete solution: ## \sin{r_1} + \sin{r_2} =2\sin{\frac{r_1+r_2}{2}} \cos{\frac{r_1-r_2}{2}} - |## ## \sin{r_1} +...

Hello Kuruman, I've corrected the mistake n' = μ (While i wrote it I did't knew about math symbols support :')) μ= refractive index of prism relative to air This problem is taken from Jenkins-White Fundamental of Optics Plane Surfaces Chapter(last problem)
