Do polarized light consists of waves that vibrate in one direction only?

No, it isn't one direction, otherwise there would not have been vibration at all! In normal light, the electric field vibrates in planes which are perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving. In polarised light, the electric field vibrates in only one plane which is perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving.. (3 dimension has been considered in the answer; this is why plane(s) have been used in the answer)


What direction do light waves vibrate in?

The electric and magnetic field vibrate perpendicular to the direction in which the light wave propagates (and perpendicular among themselves). Light is thus a transverse wave.

Those would be transverse waves!


Why are plane waves are called plane?

Plane waves travel parallel to each other in the same plane hence the name.
