The vibration of the electric field in radiation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This provides 360 degrees of for the vibration to occur in. Polarization is the angle of the 360 degrees that vibration occurs at. If the ligth is coming at yu like the face of a clock, the angle could be at 3:00, 6:00 or 9:00 or any angle.

Some crystals rotate the angle of polarization, that is light goes in at 3:00 and comes out at 5:00.

Normally reflection by a surface will absorb polarization not parallel to the surface, leaving the wve polarized parallel to the surface.
