For TIR to occur, two strict conditions must be met: 1) The light must be traveling from an optically denser medium (higher refractive index, e.g., glass core of a fiber) to an optically rarer medium (lower refractive index, e.g., cladding). 2) The angle of incidence (the angle the ray makes with the normal) must exceed the critical angle (the specific angle of incidence for which the angle of refraction is 90 degrees).

The rise of modern political theory often marks a clear distinction between the concept of a royal ‘subject’ and a sovereign ‘citizen.’ Which major revolution is primarily credited with formalizing this intellectual shift, by dismantling feudal legal structures and establishing inherent, universal political rights explicitly in the form of ‘Man and Citizen’?

Answer

The French Revolution (1789) is centrally associated with this shift. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (1789) explicitly replaced the system of feudal privilege and royal subjecthood with the concept of citizenship based on natural rights, sovereignty residing in the nation, and equality before the law. While the American Revolution established rights, the French Revolution provided the most radical and universalist codification of the citizen against the European Ancien Régime.
