==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Normal''' refers to any line or [[vector]] which is drawn [[perpendicular]] to a surface.
===About the Normal===
: A '''normal''' line is drawn on [[Ray Diagram|ray diagrams]] when a [[Light Ray|ray]] reaches the [[boundary]] between two [[Medium|media]].
: The [[Normal Contact Force|normal contact force]] is a [[force]] which always acts [[perpendicular]] to the boundary between two surfaces.
: [[Pressure]] is due to a [[force]] which is [[perpendicular]] to the surface of an [[object]].
