English term or phrase: surface normals
Definition from the Free Dictionary: In 3D graphics, an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the surface of a polygon. It may be computed at the vertex of a triangle, in which case it is the average of all the vertices of adjoining triangles. Or, it may be computed for each pixel in the triangle as in Phong shading. SURFACE NORMALS are used to derive the reflectivity of a light source shining onto an object.

Thank you all in advance!

agree  Daniel Tavares: Concordo, mas não quanto às referências na web, e sim, de acordo com o que estudava em Matemática. Nem sempre o que facilmente se acha no google é correto.
