Ordinary light waves vibrate in all directions light that vibrates only in a specific plane is said to be?
"polarized"
How fast does light vibrate?
Well, it can vibrate very fast.
Is Light Produced When Matter Vibrates?
Matter vibrates because of the application of energy. If the energy applied is enough, and an electron is smashed out of its orbit, you will get light.
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.
What else can light do besides reflect and refract?
Light can also be absorbed.

Does UV light vibrate too quickly to see it?
UV light vibrates at a rate so fast that the naked eye cannot see it. Light energy's vibration is invisible to the naked eye, whether UV or not.
What does Polarized light vibrates in?
For plane polarized light the electric vector of the light ray is allowed to vibrate in a single plane, producing a simple sine wave with a vibration direction lying in the plane of polarization - this is termed plane light or plane polarized light.
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)
How does light vibrate?
Well, it can vibrate very fast.
Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?
No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.
How fast does light vibrate?
Well, it can vibrate very fast.

Matter vibrates because of the application of energy. If the energy applied is enough, and an electron is smashed out of its orbit, you will get light.
What vibrates and moves through space at the speed of light to make an electromagnetic wave?
light
What is the light that vibrates in only one direction after passing through a filter is?
Polarized light.
What quantity tells you how fast a light wave vibrates?
Frequency
What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?
Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.
