A line used to indicate the direction of a field, especially an electric or magnetic field, at various points in space. The tangent of a line of force at each point indicates the orientation of the field at that point. Arrows are usually used to indicate the direction of the force.  2, record 1, English, - field%20line

A field line is a locus that is defined by a vector field and a starting location within the field. A vector field defines a direction at all points in space; a field line may be constructed by tracing a path in the direction of the vector field. More precisely, the tangent line to the path at each point is required to be parallel to the vector field at that point. Field lines are useful for visualizing vector fields, which consist of a separate individual vector for every location in space. If the vector field describes a velocity field, then the field lines follow stream lines in the flow. Perhaps the most familiar example of a vector field described by field lines is the magnetic field, which is often depicted using field lines emanating from a magnet.  1, record 1, English, - field%20line

En physique et en mathématiques, afin de visualiser un champ vectoriel, on utilise souvent la notion de ligne de champ. C'est, en première approximation, le chemin que l'on suivrait en partant d'un point et en suivant les vecteurs. Plus rigoureusement, une ligne de champ est en tout point tangente au champ considéré.  4, record 1, French, - ligne%20de%20champ

Un champ est une zone de l'espace dans laquelle s'exerce une force (gravitationnelle, magnétique, électrostatique ou de toute autre nature). C'est donc une zone où l'espace a des propriétés particulières, où il est perturbé. Cette perturbation est créée par un objet. [...] Le vecteur champ magnétique en un point est tangent à la ligne de force passant par ce point. Une ligne de champ est orientée dans le sens du champ magnétique (du pôle nord de l'aimant vers son pôle sud) et se referme sur elle-même.  5, record 1, French, - ligne%20de%20champ

According to the Etruscan tradition, the Romans used to trace the two main axes of the city-decumanus maximus and kardo maximus-by means of the shadow being cast by the first sunbeam that appeared at the physical horizon of the respective place on inauguration day. The azimuth of the decumanus maximus direction was therefore identical with the azimuth of the point the sun rise on the day.

The most computationally complex and most realistic algorithms for dealing with both reflection and refraction are called ray-tracing algorithms. In essence they trace individual light rays to determine which of them end up at the viewpoint and how they got there. In order to avoid having to deal with an infinity of lines emanating from a point source, the process works backward, starting at each pixel. Each ray starting at the viewpoint and passing through a pixel is projected backward until it hits a surface. The backward tracing of the reflected ray then continues to determine whether it could have come from a light source or from reflection from another object.  1, record 6, English, - ray%2Dtracing%20algorithm
