This sign inversion of the parallel component and the non-inversion of the perpendicular component would also happen if the ground were a good electrical conductor.

However, when a magnetic field with a perpendicular component is applied, their paths between collisions are curved so that moving charges accumulate on one face of the material.

A linear filter transmits one component of a plane wave and absorbs the perpendicular component.

A crosswind is any wind that has a perpendicular component to the line or direction of travel.

The parallel and perpendicular components can be eliminated, by substituting into r':

The refraction correction applies to the perpendicular component of the scattering vector with respect to the substrate while the parallel component is unaffected.

Surface force can be decomposed into two perpendicular components: pressure and stress forces.

The faster the charge is moving, the more noticeable the enhancement of the perpendicular component of the field becomes.

This component is called the perpendicular component.

The ratio of the peak intensity of the parallel and perpendicular component is known as the depolarisation ratio.
