MH bulb orientation question

It is always recommended that you orient a bulb perpendicular to the front of the tank. I never knew why. Perhaps there is better light dispersion

. One of my lights is oriented that way. Yesterday I hung a pendant above my other tank, but due to space constraints I hung this one parallel. I have noticed that the ripple effect is much stronger with the parallel orientation. I am wondering if anyone knows why
