That's the direction in which the ' E ' field of the wave points. It's always

perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling. But it could be

horizontal, vertical, or any angle in between.

How do various kinds of em waves differ from each other?

There are two main types of EM waves. Magnetic waves and Electronic waves. They exist at orthogonal relationships with M waves and E waves at 90 degrees to each other.


What is vertical and horizontal polarization?

Light acts like both a particle and a wave. These particle-waves are oriented in random directions. Polarisation filters basically filter out the randomly oriented waves, and ensure that only light that is 'polarized' in a certain direction can pass through.Horizontal polarisation is when the light waves are oriented horizontally, and vertical is when the waves are vertical. The same princaple applies to the whole EM spectrum.
