Normálvektorokra

Normálvektorokra is the Hungarian word for "normal vectors". A normal vector, in mathematics and physics, is a vector that is perpendicular to a given plane or surface. Its direction is at a 90-degree angle to the tangent of the surface at a specific point. The concept of a normal vector is fundamental in various fields, including geometry, calculus, and engineering.

In three-dimensional Euclidean space, a normal vector to a plane can be found using the cross product of two non-parallel vectors lying in that plane. For a surface, the normal vector is often derived from the gradient of the function defining the surface. If a surface is defined by the equation $f(x, y, z) = c$, then the gradient $\nabla f$ at a point $(x_0, y_0, z_0)$ on the surface is a normal vector to the surface at that point.

Normal vectors have numerous applications. In computer graphics, they are used for lighting calculations, determining how light reflects off surfaces. In physics, they are crucial for defining forces acting perpendicular to surfaces, such as pressure or stress. In multivariable calculus, normal vectors are used in the Divergence Theorem and Stokes' Theorem to relate integrals over volumes and surfaces to integrals over their boundaries. The direction of a normal vector can be either outward or inward from a surface, and the convention typically depends on the context of the problem.
